Process

I had a phone interview two weeks after applying. The phone interview was simple, including basic algorithm concepts and knowledge about Python, as I had indicated familiarity with the language.

A few days later, I was invited to an on-site interview, which I scheduled for one week later. There were five whiteboard interviews, each about an hour long. Four of them involved LeetCode-style questions (medium to hard difficulty), and one was a discussion about ideas in the technology field.

I was rejected one week after the on-site interview.
