Candidate-reported interview process
The whole thing took like 4 weeks. It started with an online assessment, then a technical interview where I had to code a Leetcode medium problem. The final round was another technical interview focusing on security concepts, plus a behavioral part about company values.
First there was an Online Assessment, then a one hour Coding assessment, and the final round was a 60 min interview with the first 45 min being behavioral and the last 15 min being security related questions.
The interview process was super friendly and casual, which was great! It started with a tough four-question HackerRank assessment. Then, there was a short phone call where they seemed to focus on my schooling and personal projects, mostly checking if I was personable. Finally, a three-part interview assessed my values, technical knowledge (problem-solving for the role), and coding skills. The coding question was pretty basic, and I had to solve it again using a different approach.
