The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

Mostly behavioral questions, pretty clearly listed on the careers page. Coding interview was not a big focus and there were also system design interviews. Team matching happens only after the interview. Several recruiters were involved.Candidate-reported process
I didn’t feel like they really cared to interview me. I only got to the screening stage. For the behavioural part, the interviewer just asked questions with no follow ups, so it felt very one sided. For the systems design part, the question was only verbally explained, so it took a bit of time to understand. Maybe this is on me, but it would have been nice if they wrote down the question; they made it seem more complicated than it should have been.Candidate-reported process
Recruiter screen then a behavioral and systems round. Didn’t really connect with the systems interviewer and it was obvious he was unhappy. Waited more than a week to hear back from my recruiter, who didn’t share any feedback or even reply when I asked.Candidate-reported process
