Process

I applied online. The process took two weeks.

I applied online, and two days later I got an email to book a 30-minute phone call. There were usual questions on the call: what have you done, do you know Agile, what languages have you worked with, tell me a conflict you've solved, and what is the best solution you've created and why.

Two days after the call, I got an email to book a one-hour video call with a technical person. The interview was less technical than I thought it would be. We talked a lot about what I have done and how my approach to solving problems is.

Two days later, there was another email to schedule a code challenge on CoderPad. The CoderPad session was with two engineers from their team. The task was pretty straightforward, and I believe it was pretty fair and could be accomplished in under one hour; however, I was pretty nervous, couldn't think properly, and jumped on the solution. In the end, my solution did not produce the expected result, and I was not using the best approach to solve the problem—manipulating too many arrays instead of using something more performant.

Two days later, I got an email to say they are not moving forward with me.
