Process
- Contacted through LinkedIn.
- Phone screen with manager.
- Coding assignment (1 week) - Passed.
- Engineering question (1 week) - Passed.
- Design assignment (1 week) - Not given a chance to present, even though completed.
- Four interviews with the team. The Dev team was pleasant, with good interviewers. Management was a little adversarial and unpleasant.
- Interview with Director.
- Total time: 60 days. Looking back, I would not do this process again; it was not worth the investment of time and energy.
