The initial interview process includes:

• A phone screen with the hiring manager.
• A one-hour Coderpad.io phone interview with a senior engineer, featuring highly customized, medium-difficulty questions not found on LeetCode. To prepare, ensure a solid understanding of data types such as hashmaps/dictionaries, arrays/lists, strings, and integers.
• A five-hour on-site interview with whiteboarding, situational, and behavioral questions.

You will also have a free lunch with Tinder engineers, where they will get to know you better and assess your cultural fit.

Tinder's interview process appears to place high emphasis not only on technical skills but also on cultural fit. They aim to ensure you are a team player with strong communication skills.

Overall, it was a very smooth and fast interview process. The HR team did an excellent job making the candidate feel welcomed and appreciated.
