Coding Technical
You'll start with an at-home coding project. This involves fetching data from openstreetmap, plotting it, and then creating a distribution plan. After that, there's a 1-on-1 chat with an engineer where you'll discuss the technical aspects of a project you've done.

Coding System Design Presentation
The interview process involved a phone screen with live coding and system design. Then, an onsite interview included a PowerPoint presentation, another live coding session, and a system design challenge. A third onsite interview consisted of live coding and data modeling interviews. Out of five companies applied to, this was the only one that did not offer a position and required the most time. If you are willing to risk 10+ hours for this process, proceed. Otherwise, I strongly advise against this company as they will waste your time.
