Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took two weeks.
- A 30-minute phone screen with the Director of Engineering.
- A 60-minute remote programming challenge, which was a basic algorithmic and problem-solving challenge.
- Four hours of on-site interviews with various teams, consisting of four one-hour interviews with two people per team. The questions were personality-based for cultural fit, and there was pair programming on various problems, along with whiteboarding architectural problems with a small team.
