Candidate-reported interview process
The interview process started off great, and I enjoyed it. As I progressed, I felt their interest in me waned. I didn't anticipate making it to the final round, and I didn't.
I had an HR screen, then a director screen where we talked about infrastructure, SLOs, company values, and my work style. After that, there was a tech screen on Coderpad. They said any language was fine, but the devs only use Golang. The problem wasn't too hard, but it was very data structure oriented.
There were three rounds and then a panel. The panel included a demonstration of DAGs written in Airflow and a business case for how those DAGs impact a business outcome.
