Interview
Typical LeetCode-style hazing interview. Question had no bearing on the day-to-day practice of a SWE, and would be something you'd just have an AI one-shot these days, but some orgs still feel like they need to do arbitrary gatekeeping during a stressful process that doesn't mirror a real-world work scenario.

Question 1
It was recursion, with extra steps. Just practice every recursion question on LeetCode. Apparently that's what success looks like in Business Intelligence™.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Metabase (CA)
Interview
30 min initial call which is mostly working on a leetcode easy/medium problem. If you pass, 3 1-hour technical panel interviews. 2 of those were database questions, the other was a couple of leetcode medium questions.

Interview
The first round is based on a 20 minute technical task where you're expected to analyse and solve a not too hard data structure problem in a short time and with someone reminding you how little time is left every few minutes. They don't really ask many questions about the candidate, they're probably looking for robots and not developers.
