Process

The interview process includes a 45-minute phone screen, followed by four on-site technical interviews. One of these may involve a pair-programming session.

Each interview follows this format:

  • An introduction where the interviewer shares a bit about themselves.
  • A discussion about your background and technical experience.
  • A coding challenge.
  • A question-and-answer session.

The whiteboard questions were standard data structures and algorithms problems.

Overall, the process was great, and my recruiter was very prompt in responding to any questions.
