Overall, it was a very positive interview process with good communication and very engaged interviewers. First step was a 90 minute take-home code challenge with three parts: a relatively easy algorithm, a database query, and an API request with JSON parsing. Next step was 3, 1-hour interview sessions: - Engineering manager interview, part behavioral and part live code challenge (easy/medium leetcode) - Lead Engineer interview: half was a code challenge (build a binary search tree), which is very hard if, like me, you don't have a CS degree and haven't done enough grinding on leetcode yet. But the interviewer was super helpful and made it more of a pairing session instead of watching me flounder. The other half was system design (a craigslist of sorts). - Interview with Director of Engineering that was part behavioral and part database and architectural, with questions around AWS S3.
