The interview process
Described in candidates’ own words.
“First there was an OA, then about 4 weeks later, I had 2 technical interviews where I had to solve 1-2 medium-hard LeetCode problems. After that, the hiring manager did a behavioral/technical interview, mostly focusing on coding and going a bit deeper into my resume. Then came team matching, and finally the offer.”Candidate-reported process
“It was a typical leet code style interview. I was given three questions. The first one was pretty easy to solve. The second one, I ran out of time. The third one was really difficult and about cache.”Candidate-reported process
“I applied online for a software engineer (new grad) job and had to do a hackerrank online assessment. It had 5 questions total: 2 MCQs and 3 coding questions. After that, there were a few other rounds. Overall, it was a good experience.”Candidate-reported processMore reports lockedRead 300+ more interview experiences
