Process

The recruiter gave me a take-home coding challenge. Upon completion, they gave me a technical phone interview. It was a question that requires the correct data structure to achieve good performance. I was then invited onsite.

There were 3 coding interviews (1 using a laptop), 1 system design, and 1 behavioral interview, and lunch with the founder. Everyone was very friendly and enthusiastic about the product they are building. The questions are not difficult, and the interviewer will help you.

I was told the interviews went well, but they wanted someone with more experience for a senior role. Overall, the interview process is very smooth, and I enjoyed talking with the engineers. It's an amazing company constantly making improvements to make their product better. The hiring team is very responsive too – the best interview experience I've had so far!
