Great interview. Tough Questions. Required coding on whiteboard and if you failed it was basically over and no second chances given. Barely looked at resume or cover letter or even talked about experiences.
The interview process included a recruiter screening, an online coding assessment, and a follow-up interview with the team. Questions were a mix of behavioral and technical discussions focused on experience.
The interview process started with an initial screening that included a mix of yes/no and behavioral questions. I then moved on to a second interview, which focused on both technical and behavioral questions.
