Case Presentation Behavioral
The scheduling was really well done and they were efficient, respecting my time. I met with some leaders early on which helped me understand the company culture and what the main business goals and challenges are. They checked my craft and design thinking through a case study presentation and a live design exercise.

Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
It was a great experience. Folks were nice and seemed to really like working there. It went like this: first a recruiter chat, then the hiring manager chatted, then I met with two team members, the engineering manager, and the CFO. The last step was a live marketing problem-solving exercise with the hiring manager.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
Had a 30-min recruiter chat. Then a 30-min chat with the CD manager and a colleague. The final round had 30-min chats with 3 cross-functional partners, then a 30-min chat with leadership. Also did a 90-min working project with a CD colleague. The leadership call was confrontational and asked questions for a different role. I gave feedback to the recruiter, felt like an HR intake.

Technical Coding Behavioral Other
Started with an HR Screening Interview, then went into a round 1 algorithm technical interview where there were 2 questions to be answered in 45 minutes. The final round included behavioral, management, and a front end/back end technical interview. Everyone was super friendly and they seemed to have a culture that valued helping people learn. At every technical stage of the interview process, they gave very specific and constructive feedback, better than I've received interviewing anywhere else, over all I was really impressed. Admittedly also bummed that I wasn't able to get an offer. During the first 1 technical interview, I didn't realize they would be asking me technical questions so it caught me a bit off guard (you write your code in an online IDE and it had to compile/execute correctly, they let you choose the language). I also didn't realize until later that there were meant to be two questions, I took the entire time to finish just the one, but I think I would have been stuck on it either way. They decided to bump me down to a SDE 2 instead of a senior for the final interview, but mentioned I could be bumped back up if I did well in the final rounds. Final rounds discussed work culture, the team structure/projects I'd be working on, and finally involved both a front end and back end interview (they didn't seem to have explicit front end/backend roles so everyone was expected to be fullstack.
Confirmed questions4 questions
- For the first technical interview, I chose Python 3. The initial question involved parsing HTML objects with a 'DOM Element' library and then filtering/executing them according to specific logic.
- For the front end interview in the final round, they provided some boilerplate React code/CSS beforehand. In the interview, they asked me to add X, Y, or Z functionality to it. Hint: It is related to how their website operates and the boilerplate code is a good indicator of what they'll ask.
- For the backend questions in the final round, you're not expected to have something that necessarily compiles here, and the question felt much more like an abstract leet code algorithmic/data structure question. After coding up my answer, the interviewer did make it a point to ask me how my code might actually perform in a real backend set up, and to consider what additional difficulties would be involved (probing my knowledge of backend work basically). Conceptually it was writing code to keep tabs on the names of 'servers' that were currently allocated, to deallocate them, as well as handling some rules about how that allocation had to work.
