Process

I went through a third party site that skipped the phone screen process.

  1. Intro call with recruiter (30 minutes) Basic call to discuss roles and where interests lie. The recruiter I spoke to was very nice and very well informed about the company and the roles.

  2. (Remote) Onsite (5 hours) Algorithm questions, system design questions, project based question, personality questions. Nothing unexpected here.

All the interviewers were incredibly pleasant and didn't get the feeling it was a "chore" for them to be interviewing at all. All of them were engaged and were well prepared.

  1. Call with VP of eng (30 minutes) Discuss the role and where you'd fit in the team

  2. Offer

Overall very positive experience. Declined the offer only because I had another role that was slightly better suited for my desired career path. Would highly recommend interviewing here.

Questions

The interview consisted of standard algorithm questions followed by a project based programming question.
