Applied via their website and completed a 2-hour assessment covering reasoning, math, reading, and personality. About two weeks later, I received an hour-long assessment on a very buggy platform. This assessment included a short part on statistics/reasoning, a video response about handling interpersonal conflict, a poorly written multiple-choice section on Java/OOP concepts, and an easy LeetCode problem with a broken test runner. I suspect my participation was to help them test their internal assessment software.

Behavioral Technical

The whole thing took about a week. First, I had a phone call where we talked about the job and if I was okay with relocating. Then, I had another interview over Teams. We went over more details about the role and my background, experience, and education. He asked me some programming questions to check my knowledge. After that went well, I did a technical skills test the next day. I got an offer about two days later.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Could you explain what OOP is?
  • Are you open to relocating for this position?
