Process
A fairly long and intensive process.
It includes:
- A phone screen with a recruiter
- An online coding test
- A technical phone interview
If you do well enough on those, you'll be invited on-site.
The morning consists of three one-hour interviews followed by lunch. If you performed well during the morning, you will then meet with heads of teams that are interested in hiring you.
Questions
A few algorithm questions, a few software engineering best practices questions, and some general experience questions.
