Interview
I applied to their role on their website and a recruiter reached out to me to schedule interviews with the hiring manager and other members of the team. The interview process was drastically shortened for me because the hiring team wanted to fill the position very quickly, So the entire interview loop lasted only a week and a half.
the interviews consisted of a behavioral with the hiring manager and a hackerrank technical with a engineering team member.
