Process
I was reached out by a recruiter. There were two rounds of interviews: a one-hour technical screening and a five-hour video-only interview.
Technical questions are all in a previous Glassdoor review. They focused three hours on BQ to make sure it was a good culture fit, and I was mentally exhausted after all the hard questions. No feedback was given afterward.
