Process

The interview process is similar to that of Google or Facebook, but with greater emphasis on the fit for that particular team or position. It includes a phone screen, two phone interviews, and an all-day on-site interview.

The interview components are:

  • Culture fit and personality assessment
  • Laptop coding
  • Technical troubleshooting
  • Non-abstract large systems design

The technical interviews seek to push candidates to their technical limits to see their problem-solving approach and ability to debug issues. This means interviews can be stressful.

Practicing and memorizing algorithms problems as one would for a Google interview won't be sufficient. The "right" answer won't be accepted without the interviewer introducing a new requirement or changing the scenario. The code must run on the laptop in order to be accepted.
