Entrevista
Kicked off with a recruiter conversation, then two separate phone screens with different managers. What stood out immediately was the caliber of thinking on display - these are engineers who operate at a genuinely high level and ask questions that reveal how deeply they understand the systems they build. The first session flowed well and covered meaningful technical ground. The second was more challenging in pacing but pushed me to think on my feet, which was ultimately valuable. A good test of both problem-solving ability and composure under pressure.

Three rounds covering a good range. First was behavioral — a relaxed conversation about previous experience and the team. Second was technical, focused on a system design question around scalability and optimization. Third round went deeper on behavioral, with rapid-fire scenario-based questions that tested how you think on your feet. Each round had a distinct purpose which made the overall process feel intentional and well-organized. The people were sharp and easy to talk to throughout.

Two rounds. First was a casual 30-minute conversation with the team lead — two easy verbal coding questions followed by a general discussion about the team and the work. Very relaxed. Second round was a technical session focused on designing a React component within given constraints — open internet and LLMs allowed, which made it feel practical and realistic. The whole process felt thoughtful and team-specific rather than generic. Great experience overall.

Interview process had graph-based questions focusing on DFS/BFS. First interview was about connected components. Second interview covered another graph problem. Third interview had questions that needed sets and maps to solve efficiently. The interviewers were helpful when I got stuck and seemed genuinely interested in my thought process.
