Technical Coding

The interview experience was really professional and went smoothly. Even though I didn't get the job, they recommended me for other roles. The interviewer was good at finding programmers who could really problem-solve and see potential issues. The question itself wasn't super hard or tricky, just needed some careful thinking. The important part was the thought process and how I asked questions.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • The question involved a calculation related to geometry, and it was designed to test careful thinking and the ability to clarify.

Behavioral Technical

It was a really simple, two-step interview process. The first step was just a basic screening to get to know you better. The second interview was somewhat technical, with about 4-5 managers on the call asking questions about my resume and past experiences. The technical questions were more about general knowledge, not like those tough LeetCode problems.

Technical Behavioral

It was a chill, somewhat technical interview, and it seemed like the employer was new to interviewing. It was supposed to be 30 minutes but went for an hour and a half. It started with a company overview, then went into technical stuff, followed by job descriptions. No personal questions like "What are your strengths/weaknesses?", and it wrapped up with "What questions do you have for us?". No follow-up email about the outcome, just an automated pass-up email.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • How would you manage a scenario where you lack resources and need to collaborate with a cross-functional team to resolve an issue?
