1) Contacted by recruiter on LinkedIn.
2) Called by recruiter to discuss opportunities. Completed application after phone call and emailed recruiter to push it to the next step.
3) Completed Codility assessment to qualify for interview event. Three questions, not bad. A couple string questions and exploiting a bug in a given algorithm.
4) Contacted to schedule virtual interview event.
5) Event consisted of four interviews on MS Teams, 45 minutes each. Each interviewer asked behavioral questions and a coding question using Codility.
The interview was OK overall. The process was pretty easy to follow and there was lots of communication leading up to it. Took 3 business days following the interview to get my result. My experiences with each interviewer are down below.
The first interviewer was very pleasant. Easy question, relaxed discussions on my experience and friendly overall.
The second interviewer was about 5 minutes late and was extremely difficult to understand. Spoke very fast and had a thick accent. Seemed a little high-strung There was a bit of a language barrier as he asked me the same behavioral question like three times, all phrased a little differently.
The third interviewer was pretty relaxed, similar to the first. Was helpful with answering any questions I had.
The fourth interviewer asked the most when it came to behavioral questions. He was very interested in my responses and asked lots of follow-up questions. Was also very nice. Unfortunately, this left only about 20 minutes to solve the tree question he asked. On top of solving it, I was also asked to implement the tree data structure (as shown in the prompt) and add a bunch of test cases to test my algorithm. I felt pretty rushed having to bang this out in 20 minutes, but it's doable if you have practiced a lot with trees and searching algorithms.
