Process
The process went as follows:
- Personality fit
- Coding interview
- More in-depth coding interview
- System design interview
- Behavioral interview
The personality fit was basically to see what makes you unique.
The first coding interview involved implementing a practical algorithm for a practical problem, a brute-force approach to get to the all-day interview.
The all-day interview (about 4 hours) started with an hour solving a coding problem. The second interview was talking about system design. The third was presenting the work you’ve done in the past. The last hour was behavioral questions.
