The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

It started with a recruiter screening and then a super day that had 3 different 45-minute interviews. One round had technical questions to gauge your technical sense, another focused on favorite product and product sense, and the last one was behavioral.Candidate-reported process
There was an initial phone screen, then a loop with 5 rounds, and after that a final interview with the skip-level manager. The offer and any negotiation would happen right after the full interview process.Candidate-reported process
3 rounds but pretty easy. they mainly asked behavioral stuff. they asked about my interest. they asked about my personal life. it was pretty straight forward with no super hard technical questions.Candidate-reported process
