Process

The entire interview process was clearly laid out for me from the start.

Round 1

  • 1-hour manager chat about previous experience and work
  • 1-hour systems design problem

Round 2

  • 1-hour technical presentation section: You will write a 1000-word brief about a project you led that highlights your technical and leadership skills. This must be completed 24 hours prior to the interview. You will then prepare a 20-minute presentation about this brief, which you will deliver to a small group. This group will then ask you questions about the brief/project.
  • 1-hour coding session: The problem will be something you would encounter in day-to-day work, and you can solve it in any language you are most comfortable with.
  • 1-hour systems design: This systems design question is more advanced than the first one.
  • 1-hour adaptability session where you discuss your leadership and people skills
