I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX)
Interview
Phone Screen then onsite, the onsite interview goes from 9 am to 5 pm, whiteboard questions are pretty basic (no hard code algorithm question, just know your basic DS), design question normal for industry, programming exercise is pretty long but again is not hard.
The interviewers are very nice and they try to give you hints if you get stuck, they come in pairs so you will ended up meeting about 12-13 people by the end of the day.
Advise:
- Ask if you can bring your own laptop for the programming exercise if not you will end up using some crappy laptop and you will loose precious time.
- Make sure you get a good night sleep. It is a long long day.
First a quick call with a recruiter and then a karat test. You're allowed to retake the karat coding test within 24hrs of the first test, if you prefer to.
