Process
I met an engineer, and he referred me.
It was a really friendly interview process. It included a phone screen, a technical screen, and an on-site interview.
There were lots of data structure and algorithm questions.
Ask questions and collaborate with your interviewer. It's not about what you can do, but about HOW you do it. They are all about teamwork.
