I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks.

The interview process took about 2 weeks and consisted of 3 stages: a short telephone interview, a live coding session, and then a half-day series of sessions at the WS office. The half-day sessions were made up of 2 coding sessions, 1 system-design exercise, and a more general chat.

It was a very daunting prospect, but everyone I spoke to was friendly, helpful, and happy to give you a nudge in the right direction rather than being silent and intimidating. I liked that each session was with different members of the team, giving me plenty of opportunities to get different perspectives on working for WS. For the record, everyone was very positive.

Throughout the whole process, I felt like WS were genuinely interested in getting to know me and what I was looking for, as much as I was interested in getting to know WS. In the end, I was offered a different role from the one I originally applied for, but that was no bad thing, as I felt like they took my abilities and career aspirations into account.

What am I looking for?
