Got a call from a recruiter about applying. It was pretty quick from applying to getting asked to do a recorded digital interview. They asked me around 15 straightforward questions, mostly asking about why I'm interested in the company and about my personal background.

Behavioral Technical

The hiring manager and I really clicked in the first round. However, the second round with an executive director was a different story. She seemed to really dislike me, getting annoyed because one of my answers wasn't as brief as she expected, even though we still ended the interview with 5 minutes to spare.

Technical Behavioral Coding

The process started with a phone screen with two engineers. They asked basic questions like the difference between a stack and queue, what projects I've done and the technologies used, and the use of recursive functions. Then there was an onsite interview with three parts. The first was a short 10-minute chat with an engineer about my projects and experience, and they talked about the job. The second was a 45-minute pair programming session. The third was with HR, and it felt like they were just waiting for the other two to recommend me so the hiring manager could decide if a fourth interview was worth it.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Can you explain the difference between a stack and a queue?
  • Could you tell us about a project you've worked on?
  • Can you design a store merchandise system?
