1. Phone screen
2. Codility Online Test
3. Phone screen again
4. Onsite
The questions in Codility online test were easy and manageable in given time. This part included 1 DB question and 2 algorithm problems.
In the onsite, I had to solve 3 questions before the team started asking questions based on the previous exercise, my profile, and skills.
The most unexpected part for me was they asked me to write a SQL query on the whiteboard. I didn't know this could've happened. Like I'm familiar with different DBMS models like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB, etc. If you give me a laptop, I'll write down the query for you with some trials and errors, but writing query on a whiteboard was a first for me.

Question 1
I don't remember it correctly now.
I was asked to write a query where I was required to create a subquery which will work on the same table.

Interview
Awful process. No introduction or phone screening given. Then the first technical interview was designing a system. After that the GHOSTED for 3 weeks, and then sent me a message if I was still interested. So I took the option and did the final interview.
After the final interview guess what? the disappeared again until I sent and email wondering what happened with the process and they told me they decided to pass on me. Very disorganized interview process.

Question 1
Design a questions/answers system like stack overflow
I applied online. I interviewed at WITHIN (New York, NY)
Interview
Started off with a 2.5 hour coding challenge with manageable questions. Then a phone screen. Then an onsite. This is where they sort of lost my interest as a company and they really showed how amateurish they are. They had me do ANOTHER 2.5 hour coding challenge at the office which felt like a massive waste of time. I was at their office for 4 hours and spoke to other human beings for maybe 45 minutes. I received an offer the next day but they came in at a very low number and I ended up rejecting the offer.

Question 1
They had me whiteboard a SQL query as well as an array manipulation question.
