Interview process

The interview process was very simple. Unlike other software companies there were little technical deep-dives. There were no coding rounds, however there were 2 system designs, 1 behavioral and 1 cross-functional round. Questions were nothing out of the ordinary. Interviews went very well that I landed an offer.

Interview tips

For the most part it seemed a discussion than an interview. Brush up on your resume. Be authentic and consistent with the behavioral questions.

Company culture

Starting with the recruiter and the hiring manager the entire team was very friendly and genuinely looking to make good hire.
