Interview
Interview process consist of 3 rounds of interviews (each with a design lead, product lead, and eng lead) 2 white board challenges, and 2 final interviews. The entire process took about 3 weeks.
Fairly standard 45 minutes interview where the hiring manager would ask a set of questions to learn about your background and familiarity with the product. Afterwards, there is a design challenge where you have 25 minutes to create an application for a specific audience.
