Candidate-reported interview process
The interview process included a 45-minute technical screen focusing on Python. Then there were a series of onsite interviews: one analyzing API queries from provided documentation (1 hour), another about getting a simple backend web app running (1 hour), a system design question on scaling (30 minutes), and finally a leadership meet.
The interviewer seemed distracted and not engaged in the conversation, looking at other things during the technical question and giving no feedback. Ultimately, it did not feel like a good culture to work in.
It's pretty standard. First, you'll chat with HR. After that, it's technical interviews, including three more after the initial technical one. Make sure you know the API docs well and how to write queries.
