Process

The whole interview process took 2-3 weeks. I had an initial 30-minute interview at a conference around the end of March, followed by an on-site interview at their headquarters two weeks later. There were three rounds of interviews: two technical and one behavioral. They asked a lot about OOP concepts and general CS knowledge.

I had a pleasant interview experience. However, after the interview process, I requested reimbursement for transportation and food. To this day, three months later, they still haven't responded. I was in contact with the recruiter, and she replied very slowly, after one to two weeks. She assured me that the reimbursements were on the way, but I did not receive them. After sending multiple reminder emails, she stopped replying altogether. This issue has persisted for three whole months, and they owe me a couple of hundred dollars.

Questions

Asked a lot about OOP concepts, e.g., what is encapsulation and designing a class for an idea.
