The hiring process was very easy. It started with an HR phone call, followed by an in-person meeting with the hiring manager, and then team meetings. The HR person was really nice. The review process was quick, and the interview overall went well.

Behavioral Technical Coding

It was a 2 virtual rounds process initially. One was behavioral, the next was a technical discussion about coding practices. Then they invited me for an onsite interview. They didn't tell me there would be a technical interview, but there was a whiteboard challenge. This was the second of 3 that day. First with hiring manager, third with director of program. If I would have prepared correctly, it would have been pretty simple.
