Process
I applied online.
A recruiter reached out, followed by a phone screen, then a technical phone screen, and an onsite that had 4 rounds:
- 2 LeetCode-style questions
- 2 system design interviews
Went through the team match process afterwards and spoke with hiring managers directly after passing the onsite.
Questions
LeetCode-style questions were about medium difficulty.
Was this helpful?
