Process

Applied online and received a call from a recruiter. They asked me to choose between a couple of teams to interview with and provided some information on what to expect from the interview.

Had two 30-minute phone interviews:

  • One with a lead engineer, which was essentially a technical review of my resume. This involved ensuring I understood the principles behind my work and answering related questions.
  • Another with someone from the specific group with which I would work. This interview was part technical and part behavioral, focusing on the work discussed in the first interview and using STAR questions.

Overall, the interviews were pretty easy, and the recruiter was very responsive and helpful throughout the process.
