Coding Technical Behavioral
I had a phone interview and then 4 more rounds, one of which was technical. Everything was virtual because of covid. They offered me the job but I asked for more pay since it wasn't the base pay I said I'd accept. I never heard back from them after that, even though they said they would. It would have been nice to get a reply, like a courtesy, or if they valued my time. I felt like they saw me as a resource rather than a person.

- We did a code pair session where I had to solve a string manipulation problem of medium difficulty.

Behavioral Technical
The folks I met with were super friendly and happy to answer anything I asked. They even showed me around a bit, though the tour was short and didn't show too much. I had one-on-one chats with several people on the team at different levels, which gave me a solid feel for how they operate. The start of the visit was a bit weird though, with just a security guard and metal detectors instead of a receptionist – not the best first impression, even though other parts of the place were nicer.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you tell me about a project that didn't go as planned and was a failure for you?
