I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Affirm in Jul 2022
Interview
The process consisted of 5 interviews altogether - 3 of them were technical. At each stage I felt that everyone was well prepared and professional. Really enjoyed talking to the recruiters, although I tend to be quite stressed in such circumstances.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Describe what it means to be a good/bad mentor? What does mentoring mean to you?
Took roughly 2 months total. Recruiter was very fast to respond and the interviewers were all very nice and collaborative during the interview. Typical HR call, two technical rounds, and behavorial round.
Live coding #1 focuses on algorithms and data structures, testing problem-solving skills and efficiency. Live coding #2 emphasizes coding challenges and practical problem-solving. The behavioral round assesses experience, teamwork, and culture fit.
