Technical Coding Behavioral
So, first you'll have a chat with the recruiter, then there's like, a couple of technical interviews where they check out your coding and problem-solving, maybe some data engineering stuff too. After that, there's usually a talk about your experience and how you'd fit in, like a behavioral thing or with a manager.

Coding System Design Behavioral
It was a four-stage process. The first stage was a technical screen focusing on Java Spring boot and a Leet code problem. The second stage involved a dynamic programming coin problem (specifically, counting ways to reach a target) and a system design question. The third stage was with the hiring manager, covering managerial topics and cultural fit. Finally, there was an HR round to discuss salary and benefits.

Behavioral
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn and we had a chat about the role they were hiring for. I agreed to continue with the interview process. The first formal interview was conducted via Teams because the hiring manager was in Australia and I'm in Scotland. It was a 30-45 minute call. I didn't hear back for about a week or two, then I got an invite for a second interview. This second interview was more of a general chat to get to know me and my interests outside of work. I received an informal offer, and then a formal offer about a week later.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you explain what the term project signifies to you?
