Process

The interview process consisted of the following stages:

  • A phone screen with a recruiter.
  • A Life Story interview, where candidates discuss their background and experiences.
  • A one-hour live coding challenge with a developer.
  • The final stage included two pair programming interviews and a technical deep dive interview.

For all coding interviews, you may use any programming language.

In the tech deep dive, you will be asked to explain in depth one of the most complex projects you have completed. Preparing by drawing a diagram of the project you intend to discuss greatly aided my own tech deep dive preparation.

Overall, the process was very smooth, and every interviewer was polite and engaged.
