I had an online CodeSignal Challenge with an algorithm and database question. Then, I had an on-site interview where I talked about my projects and GCP experience with a Senior SWE and a Product Manager for 30 minutes, followed by 15 minutes of logic games. After that, they resent the Codesignal challenge with 4 algorithm questions, which I finished with time to spare. Finally, I got an offer with an $80,000 salary and an 8% annual bonus.
