Process
One of the best interview experiences I've had in my career. The Life Story interview was super casual and simply just a back-and-forth conversation about my life, starting from wherever I wanted.
The interviewer was extremely chill and nice. It basically felt like a normal conversation with a friend.
The technical interview was also cool because they let you showcase a personal project or do their coding challenge and present your result.
I chose the coding challenge, which was quite interesting and very open-ended. I only had about a day and a half to complete it but managed to put something together that I was proud of.
The second part of the interview was a system design question where you go over a solution to a problem with the interviewers. This was challenging but still pretty interesting.
