Process
I posted my resume on the site, and then I was responded to by their HR. Following that, I was given a coding assignment.
Next, I completed an online code review with the CTO, and then I proceeded to the onsite interview.
The onsite portion included:
- A database design challenge
- A system design challenge
- Some simple coding challenges and questions
- Extending functions on a previous coding project
I would say the database and system design parts caught me off guard, as I was not informed that these topics would be covered. It would have been better if they had mentioned this beforehand.
In conclusion, this startup company is currently very profitable and has a clear long-term vision. If you're looking to work very hard and potentially get rich, this might be the place for you.
