I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Twitch (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
A call with the recruiter, then two technical phone screens, then a standard full day onsite interview. The phone screen questions were significantly easy--just applications of basic algorithms you'd find in an intro CS class. The onsite questions weren't much more difficult. They're all stuff you'd be expected to be able to solve if you were working at a name-brand tech company. Scheduling wasn't great at the time, but if you checked the tech news you'd know why.
They didn't let me know what the schedule for the day was, so I didn't learn that I was talking to a hiring manager until the middle of the last interview. After consulting with friends, I've learned I wasn't the only one tripped up by this.
I passed the Codesignal pre-screen and was invited to an intro call. The intro call included behavioral questions which I didn’t expect so I was not able to give good answers. The recruiter seemed cold and disengaged, he did not answer my email about interview process and did not turn on camera during the call, probably typical for big companies due to high volume of candidates.
At first I got the call from the recruiter for the screening process. Asked about the things on the resume work I did before. Then progressed to assesment round that consisted of OOPS coding question.
