Process

The interview process began with a phone screen with a recruiter to gauge interest and discuss potential teams.

This was followed by a technical phone screen with an engineer, and then an online coding test.

After passing the coding test, I had a call with an interested engineer who presented his team.

The onsite portion included five interviews with the engineering team, mostly focusing on algorithms and coding.

One interview covered front-end CSS and HTML questions, while the others focused on general data structures.

The final interview was with the director, a discussion about my experience.
