Interview process

The process was very fair and there was a clear emphasis on communication and culture fit. Everyone I interviewed with was very pleasant and encouraging. My one complaint would be the sense that the recruiter was not helpful or informative when it came to preparing me on what to expect. Technical rounds emphasized practical ability and had strong correlation to the responsibilities of the role.

Interview tips

I would emphasize studying core concepts over edge cases or a broad range. The technical interviews placed a lot of focus on low level design and a firm grasp on fundamentals.

Company culture

Everyone was exceptionally friendly and encouraging throughout the interview process. I felt like the interview accurately assessed capability in the role and avoided any gotchas.
