Technical Behavioral

this was easily the worst interview process I've gone through in my career. multiple interviews started late (10+ mins) and interviewers would randomly leave mid-interview. I also felt the questions were quite basic, making me question the software manager's experience in software development.

  • Do you use Git?

Technical Presentation Group

Entry level folks get 1 technical interview, but if you have experience, it's 2 rounds. After the technical steps, the CFO will evaluate you. If there's a second round, the hiring manager will give you 3 topics beforehand, and you'll have to present 2 of them within an hour.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • There was a Q&A session following the presentation, and then some subgroup questions were asked.

Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation

Started with a 3rd party HR/Recruiter call, then met with the Hiring Manager and their team. Next, there was a take-home assignment. The process concluded with a full day of technical sessions that ended with a presentation. They consistently ran over the scheduled times. A faculty member from UC Irvine was part of the interviewing team.

Technical Behavioral

I applied for a data analyst internship. Interestingly, I was also interviewed for a different department, which I felt unqualified for, so that part of the interview went poorly. One interviewer didn't even show up, and the other was quite unprofessional. While nothing particularly special was asked, some questions seemed rather ridiculous.
