Candidate-reported interview process
First, a 30 minute phone call with HR to screen. Then, a take-home assessment. Lastly, a behavioral interview with the hiring manager (1 hour) and a code assessment with two software engineers (1 hour).
Got an offline problem to solve. Had to email the solution. The hiring manager reviewed it and gave feedback. If it was good, then there was an interview to discuss more.
The process was pretty straightforward. It started with an HR call, followed by a coding assessment that took a couple of days. Then, I had an interview with the technical team, which included a mix of technical and behavioral questions. Unfortunately, I was rejected.
