Technical

The interview was a barrage of super specific questions about their tech stack and abstract computer science concepts. I didn't write any code. They didn't do intros or general questions at the start, and I didn't get to ask questions at the end. Both interviewers had their video off. They were rude, arrogant, and impatient. I felt like they didn't want to be there and didn't respect me or my time. Not a great experience. I'm not even sure I would've taken the job if they'd offered it.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you explain the distinctions between an array, a stack, and a queue?

Coding Behavioral Technical

The interview process was pretty straightforward. They first sort candidates and then have a small codability test for coding. Once you clear that, they arrange a face-to-face interview within a week. This interview is with the Manager and one senior technical person. It wasn't that hard, mostly asking about past project experience and scenario-based questions. They offered a position in the next 3-4 days.

Coding Technical

I applied on the company website and after two weeks, I received a coding assessment via Codility. About two months later, I was invited for two interview rounds: the first was a coding/technical interview, and the second was a meeting with the team. I successfully passed both rounds. Approximately a month after receiving confirmation of my selection, I joined the company, about four months after the confirmation.
