Technical Behavioral

A recruiter contacted me about a job. I met with a lead engineer for coffee and some light technical questions. We talked about my background and what technologies I'm interested in. Then I went to their office for four technical interviews and lunch. The problems were tough but enjoyable. The office vibe was super relaxed, and everyone seemed happy. You can expect questions about algorithms, object-oriented programming, and Clean Code principles.

Coding Technical System Design Behavioral

Got contacted by a recruiter initially. First up was a phone screening call with an engineer. Then, I had an onsite interview that lasted about 5-6 hours. It included several 1:1 interviews and some pairing/whiteboard sessions with company engineers. I also had a nice offsite lunch with three people from the company and got a tour of the office. They let me know their decision within a couple of days after the onsite.
