Process

There was a time limit to complete three different test formats. The technical questions from places like LeetCode, while I understand why they are used to gauge a certain level, I feel are redundant. They are an unfair advantage for people potentially with ADHD who struggle under a specific high-pressure time environment to solve answers to things that, if presented to many engineers, I would guess many would fail to solve unless they were practicing those exact problems every day.

I am mostly answering this to keep using Glassdoor. There are no hard feelings, and I still think the interview process is valid despite my frustrations with technical questions. Doing it online is better than expecting people to solve it in person.
