Any advice on their technical interviews? Seems to be 3-stages. Technical phone screen, panel, then on-site. How in-depth is the first stage? Any advice for what kind of questions/prep to do?
Imo make sure you clearly pitch yourself on the first interview, they gatekeep oddly. The rest will be increasingly technical and really look to understand your attitude and ownership. Like really define what you did/do.
Sounds good - I totally get that they want a certain behavioral type to fit in with their teams. I get that feeling that the first technical screen with the HM will include a lot of this filter of "are you the right type of person"
They ask you data structures and algorithms questions and approach problems. The panel they grill you on your resume plus 2 LC hards. On site is they give you a very complex, multi step problem related to what they’re working on. You have 10 minutes to ask all questions and not afterwards.Then come up with a working or near to working solution, with no feedback from the other side unless you’re really messing up.
The role I'm interviewing for is in automation - do you still think it will still be pretty leetcode style questions? I definitely have been seeing that they will dig into my past projects - but really curious how they will test hard skills for it.
News to me that we're asking LC hards. There is no single standard interview process anymore though so it's possible.
