Process

The interview process consisted of four rounds.

It began with an initial code screen.

Next, a video interview with two parts: a resume/background review and a code screen.

This was followed by an onsite interview with three parts:

  • An interview on abstract Computer Science topics.
  • An interview on applied Computer Science topics, including a whiteboard problem.
  • A more in-depth interview focusing on resume/background.

The final round assessed fit and inquired about other companies where I was interviewing.

Following the interviews, I received a call with a verbal offer. They requested acceptance of the verbal offer before extending a written one, which felt awkward and unusual.

Everything was handled well and in a timely manner, except for the offer extension process, which was unclear and awkward.
