Candidate-reported interview process
They were hiring only one SWE intern for the team. The process involved a 15 minute phone chat with the recruiter and a 30 minutes technical interview, which didn't include any coding.
The technical questions were tough, like Leetcode medium/hard, but fair. The virtual interview setup was new but they handled it well.
The interview process was great to work with - really simple, straightforward, and transparent. They were very accommodating with my timeline. I'd definitely recommend applying here, as the interview opportunity itself is great.
