Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

It was pretty straightforward. You apply for the role on the Summer of Tech platform and fill out a form on the hiring platform. Then you get a HackerRank challenge and subsequently get sent a link to record an elevator pitch if you pass the HackerRank test. After that, you get an email after a few weeks on whether or not you get to the final step, which is a 30-minute interview.

Questions

The process was:

  • HackerRank: Programming and SQL with a one-hour time limit.
  • Elevator Pitch: Recording a video of yourself answering a few questions.
  • Video Interview: Behavioral questions that covered a little bit about my programming projects.
