Behavioral Coding Technical Presentation
We started with a recruiter screen, just a quick call to chat about your background and see if you'd be a good fit. Then came three technical rounds. The first was a take-home assignment. The second was more interactive, including a 20-minute presentation on a topic they gave you. The third technical round involved talking about backend performance optimization and how to make some code work better. Finally, there was a values interview with HR to make sure we were on the same page about everything before they made an offer.

Coding
I got a take-home assignment that took about 45 minutes to complete. I solved it but then got rejected automatically a few days later. No reason was given. The task was to download their chrome extension and make a change. The rejection email was actually just an advertisement for a job search service, which felt pretty scammy.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Locate the specific section of code that needs to be altered to display a fox icon within the provided chrome extension.

Coding Technical System Design Behavioral
Applied through LinkedIn and the whole thing took about 1.5 months. The HR person was really helpful and nice. Everyone seemed passionate about their jobs, which made me want the role even more. It started with an HR intro call, then a take-home assignment, followed by a discussion of that assignment. Then there was an interview where I had to explain code snippets and find what was wrong with them. After that, a Systems Design Interview, and finally a Values Interview.
