Process

They gave me a 4-hour coding take-home exam, followed by two phone interviews, and then an onsite interview.

All the people I worked with seemed smart and motivated, but they mentioned many times during the onsite that it wouldn't actually be a 9-to-5 job and I'd be expected to work many weekends, which seems like a bit much.

Really cool office and exciting work, but high pressure and with lots of regulation.

Questions

Questions about fault tolerance with switches.

Algorithm coding questions.
