Behavioral Technical Coding
There were two rounds in the interview process, a behavioral one and a technical one. They both happened at the same time and lasted about 90 minutes total. The technical part had two sections, SQL and Python. The questions were simple, with the Python part being like a LeetCode easy/medium problem.

Behavioral
It was a 3-stage interview process with the hiring manager, engineering manager, and product leadership. It was pretty straightforward; they asked the typical questions. I'm not sure if they've changed how they do things now, but it was very behavioral, where they get a sense of your product ability and how you collaborate with others.
Confirmed questions1 question
- How do you collaborate with the engineering team?

Coding Behavioral
So, the interview process had a few parts, like talking with the manager and HR, plus a coding interview. It felt like it took a while to get through everything. I think this was because they were talking to a bunch of people and it took time to set up the interviews. The regular chats were cool, though, and I learned a lot about the company and what they're working on. The coding part wasn't my favorite, though. I had to work on a project with lots of files that I needed to change and keep track of, all with a time limit. Honestly, I would have preferred something simpler, like working on just one or two files on an online platform.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- For the coding part, it was more of a fill in the blank. There was a project with a bunch of files that I had to complete, add my own methods, etc. to it.
- I had to run the project on my own computer with the files that they had sent me beforehand, and then share the screen which was kind of a hassle.
- During the interview I had to go through all the files and change things here and there to make it work which was quite stressful.

Behavioral Case Technical
I found this role on LinkedIn and applied. The process was really fast and clear, and I liked speaking with everyone. HR called me a week later for a quick chat. Then I met with the hiring manager and another team member to talk about my past work and if I fit. After that, I got a case study with a made-up situation that was like the job's daily tasks. Lastly, I talked with some senior people on the team who asked about my experience and how I think.
Confirmed questions6 questions
- Can you tell me about your past work experience?
- Can you share a time you used a tool differently than it was designed for?
- Describe a process you've made better.
