There were several calls with the in-house recruiter before arranging a technical screening.
The tech screen was conducted by a strong engineer from the group. He asked a question modeled after a real-world problem rather than some random array problem. They used a coding tool that could run your code.
After clearing the tech screening, I met with the hiring executive by phone. This led to a decision to bring me on-site.
The on-site interview was all day and included the VP in charge of the group and the CTO. During a one-hour session, there was a business problem stated on paper, and I was asked to develop a plan to implement the feature. Lunch, coffee, and refreshments were appropriately provided.
A fictitious website was created, and there was a desire to quickly test whether a new feature could improve the site's revenue performance. The problem statement included a high-level architectural diagram of the existing system.
