I applied through another source. The process took 2 weeks.

If there was an option to provide a score for overall experience, I would rate this 10/10! I was reached out on LinkedIn by the engineering manager for an open position in their team. I met with a director for an informal chat over Zoom. I liked everything I heard and started my interview process. Both the manager and director emphasized that the interviews focused on testing my skills as an engineer, and there would be no obscure algorithms. And it was so true, their interviews didn’t require any LeetCode!

There were 4 rounds:

• Coding challenge with 2 SDEs - very simple question, but they were looking for my coding style, OOO skills, requirements gathering, and communication.
• Pair-Programming with 2 SDEs - similar to the first round.
• BYOS - Bring Your Own System - present a project you have worked on with a lot of details. I would recommend preparing a doc here rather than just orally explaining it.
• Meeting with 2 hiring managers - regular discussion about my journey so far going over my resume.

The team was super-friendly. They didn’t hurry me at any point and gave sufficient time between interviews. The best part is that they gave all the results immediately, always in less than 24 hours.

BYOS: Explain the difference between various caching solutions.
