Candidate-reported interview process

So after I finished the task they gave me to do at home, I had two technical interviews. It was mostly algorithm questions that involved arrays and linked lists. I made sure to write the code according to the question.

We started with an initial HR chat, just like usual. After that, I was given a tech assignment to complete. Then, there was a Tech Talk where we really dug into my past experience. It's key to know they want you to have a deep understanding of the products you use, not just how to use them.

I applied in 2022. The first part was a take-home test that was pretty tough and took me about a week. After that, I had a one-hour technical interview, and then a system design interview.
