Behavioral Technical Coding

It was a really drawn-out process. First, there was a recruiter call that took two weeks to schedule after I first got in touch. Then, there were STAR-based questions, covering both behavioral and technical aspects, along with some LeetCode-style technical questions. It was quite challenging overall.

Behavioral Technical

I did a self-recorded interview with Hirevue where I answered 4-5 questions. After that, there was a recruiter screening which was pretty basic. The final stage involved two back-to-back in-person interviews, and one of them included a pop-up technical interview. About 7 people made it to this final stage. They gave me an update later than they said they would, and it was a pretty generic email, which was a bummer. Considering how far I got, I was hoping for a more personal touch when they let me know their decision. The whole thing took about 2 months.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. They asked about my visa status and it included two rounds. The first was an HR round, and the last one was technical. The questions focused on my past experience and the specifics of the job.
