I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Affirm in Jun 2021
Interview
I was initially contacted via LinkedIn. Process started with a recruiter call, then a hands-on technical screen, and lastly a final round of
5 interviews (a mix of coding, system design, and hiring manager interview) which was scheduled over a few days due to my preference.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical screen: I was interviewing for an infrastructure team, so this interview consisted of a live application troubleshooting situation in a test AWS account. It covered a breadth of topics
Final rounds: as this was for a senior position, there were more system design interviews performed using an online white boarding tool than there were coding interviews.
Easy but real-world problem solving stage and an interview with engineering manager, which lasted fifteen minutes - it looked like it was just a courtesy (to satisfy some internal policy requirement perhaps?) since the interviewer wasn’t really interested in anything I had to say. I received a rejection the day after, when asked for feedback I was ghosted

Question 1
Describe a project that you worked on
What good/bad feedback did you receive in the past year
He tenido una primera entrevista de toma de contacto y una entrevista de live coding. Ambas entrevistas han sido muy interesantes y sencillas. Los entrevistadores han sido muy amables. El único problema ha sido que en la entrevista de código sí que requieren experiencia “actual” en el lenguaje de la oferta. Como recomendación, si tienes una entrevista en un lenguaje que no estás usando actualmente, dedica una semana a hacer pruebas tipo leetcode en dicho lenguaje, para no tener que pensar en cómo invocar las funciones
