The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

It was 2 rounds of interviews, was fun but a bit too easy for the coding round and kind of vague for the hiring manager interview - I still didn’t really get what she was looking for.Candidate-reported process
It begins with a Leadership interview and a technical interview. After that, more interviews are scheduled if you pass those successfully. Nice people and team help you to manage the interview schedule.Candidate-reported process
A recruiter reached out to me and asked some simple questions with suggested answers. After that, I had an interview with a technical person where I needed to solve a problem on a blank Google Docs page within 1 hour.Candidate-reported process
