Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Applied through an employee referral process.
The recruiter moved me directly to the final round of interviews, which consisted of two back-to-back 45-minute phone screens with a couple of engineers. They asked pretty standard interview questions with a Snapchat-esque flair.
