System Design Technical Coding
The interview was pretty quick, about 3 hours total. It included System Design, some basic engineering questions, and a live coding session that was like Leetcode. I talked with their Engineering Lead and a Senior Engineer. For the System Design part, we looked at designing a payment system. Then they asked me about Java basics, software engineering concepts, and databases. Finally, I had to do a Leetcode problem of medium difficulty.

So I had a hackerrank technical test first (multiple choice), then another hackerrank test for feature engineering with a 72 hour window. The HR phone screen happened around the same time as the second hackerrank. After that, there was a user interview. Unfortunately, I didn't pass.

Technical Coding Behavioral
So there are three steps in total. First, they sent over two online code tests; one basic coding test and another one that's specialized for the role (backend engineer in my case). After that, I had a technical interview with two software engineers. They had me solve a code on a whiteboard and asked me some questions about OOP and DSA. They also inquired about my previous projects and my specific contributions. I didn't get any feedback after this and had to wait two weeks to hear back that I passed to move on. The second interview was with HR. They asked a lot about my past projects, but focused more on teamwork and communication with colleagues. They also asked about STAR method scenarios and some hypothetical work situations. Unfortunately, they didn't get back to me for a week and didn't provide any feedback.

Behavioral Technical Coding
The interview process involves three stages: first, a phone call interview, then a technical interview which is a user interview, and finally an HR interview with the team. The technical interview will focus on JavaScript domain knowledge, covering topics like Truthy Falsy, Functions, and Arrow Functions. They'll ask for the output of code snippets and sometimes present a simple function for refactoring into a single line. Experience with basic JavaScript, Vue.js, and CSS using SaaS or Less (like Tailwind) is preferred.
