Technical Behavioral
The interview process involved a background check phone screen, followed by a skill check phone screen. The onsite interview consisted of a 4-hour session with 4 interviewers, conducted one after another. It included 3 technical interviews where whiteboard coding was required, and one behavioral interview focused on personal life experiences. The people were friendly and the environment felt open.

Technical Coding System Design Behavioral
This was one of the worst interview processes I've been through. Ultimately, I wasn't chosen because my skills didn't align with their tech stack, and a top executive basically told me I didn't fit their mold because I've worked for big companies. They wanted a DevOps expert who's also a database tuning guru and skilled in the specific mapreduce model they use for emails. Normally companies look at adaptability, but they judged solely on how well your skills matched theirs. I really wish they'd done a second phone screen instead of making me waste a full day on an onsite where I had no chance from the start. Even if they had offered the job, I doubt they would've matched my current pay; the hiring manager mentioned new hires aren't usually included in bonuses their first year after I shared my current bonus details. For the onsite, there was a mapreduce round that focused on how their model differed from my real-time processing experience with Apache Storm and Kafka. There was also a coding and caching round, which was the only part I enjoyed. Then a round with two DevOps folks, one of whom didn't ask any questions. The final round was with a top executive.

Technical Coding Behavioral
First I had a phone call, and I was asked some technical questions. This helped me to move on to the next stage. The next interview was one on one. It included a long personality test where I had to answer many questions about myself. I also had to do an activity where I had to choose words that describe my strengths and weaknesses. Then, I had to write a small algorithm on the board, which was to write a factorial function.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Could you write an algorithm to calculate the factorial?
