Candidate-reported interview process
the interview experience was good and the whole process was smooth. The interviews were thorough and you learn a lot. It was well planned out.
The interview was about 2 hours long and had technical and behavioral questions. They also had live coding questions. We talked about my expectations for the company and what I'd be doing.
Applied through an employee referral and heard back within a week. The process included an initial phone screening, followed by two technical interviews and a final managerial round. Overall, it was a smooth experience with friendly interviewers.
