Coding Technical Other
I went through a few interview stages. It started with HR, then the hiring manager. After that, I got an assignment which was pretty easy to complete, and then I was supposed to interview with the team. I didn't make it to the final round because I wasn't prepared for a live coding portion, which wasn't really relevant to my current role. It wasn't difficult, just unexpected. Overall, the process was okay.

Coding Technical Technical Behavioral Behavioral
It was a nice interview process with a few steps: first, a 30-minute chat with the recruiter. Then, a 30-minute live coding session where I had to build some basic features for a React todo list. After that, a 60-minute deep dive technical interview, finishing with 15 minutes to code two simple React hooks that had one key difference. The final stage was an in-person visit to the office: a 60-minute meeting with a product manager and another 60-minute meeting with an engineering manager. Finally, they extended an offer, and a background check was done through Sterling. I felt like my time was valued and got a good impression of the company.

We start with an intro call to get to know you and make sure you're a good fit for the role. If that goes well, you'll do a coding challenge. Pass that, and we'll move to a technical round where we'll dive deep into core Java, Spring, and database concepts, plus a design round. Finally, there's a manager round.
