January 1, 2020
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I went through 3 stages:
- phone screening, where I was asked about my past experience and how much I knew about writing low latency code
- Take home test, good fun
- 5 hours on-site with google style questions.
Overall a decent experience, but the bar apparently is set sky high.
Questions
I signed an NDA.
