Process
On-site interview only since I'm living in the Bay Area, 4 rounds and 4 interviewers for each round:
- First was coding about DFS
- Second was SQL coding
- Third was LinkedList coding
- Fourth was BQ with a senior SDE
At the end, the recruiter came in and gave a quick OOD question. The whole process took about 3 hours.
