Process

I applied online. The process took two months.

  • Coding challenge that you have about a week to complete: Array manipulation, type conversion, base conversion, simple algorithms, and application of data structures. I found it slightly difficult. I would recommend researching how hash maps can be used in data structures.
  • Video interview, which is an interview where you respond to questions in a pre-recorded video format: It was fairly non-technical.
  • Non-technical live interview via Zoom: There were two interviewers, both friendly and accommodating, with plenty of time to think.
  • Technical live interview via Zoom: It was similar to the non-technical live interview. The main event is your walkthrough of a project you've worked on to the interviewers.
  • Researching a topic and presenting it to a group via Zoom: Topics are not incredibly complex and require no prior knowledge. There was no expectation to use academic sources. It was a short presentation. I would recommend a fairly simple structure, which is to define the topic, form an opinion, and provide a forward outlook.

Stages 3 through 5 take place within a three-hour period on one day.
