Behavioral Technical Coding
I applied on LinkedIn and a recruiter called me the next day. We had a quick chat about my willingness to relocate to San Francisco. After that, I was sent an easy coding challenge, which they seemed to really like. Then, I had a technical phone screen with the director of engineering. Because I don't live in San Francisco, they did a mock 'on site' interview for me. It was from 9:00 am to 1:45 pm via Skype, with different people. The first part involved live coding challenges with three separate people, and the second part was more about behavioral questions and discussing the company. Four days later, I got an email saying they weren't moving forward because they felt I didn't have enough experience and would need too much support. It was a pretty good experience though, and everything moved really fast – the whole thing took under two weeks.

Technical Coding Case
I applied online and was quickly contacted for an interview with the hiring manager. Then, I received a take-home technical challenge that simulated real-life scenarios I'd encounter daily. The scenarios felt realistic given my domain experience. Next, I had a technical interview with two team members. This involved tasks building on the take-home assessment and some domain knowledge questions. After about two weeks, I received negative feedback, which I felt was unfairly focused on specific SQL knowledge, though their reasoning was fair within their criteria. While the interview process itself was okay, I was really put off by being promised future opportunities that never materialized. It left a bad taste in my mouth.

Technical System Design Behavioral
Started with a recruiter chat, then talked to the hiring manager, then a technical interview, and finished with an on-site behavioral interview. Communication was good during the process, and my questions were generally answered well. However, some logistics were a bit off; I was asked to use a different tool for the solution design than what was previously communicated, which was unexpected and not ideal.

- Could you walk me through a system design for a product owned by the hiring team?
