AmsterdamPosted Feb 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The full process took about a month, and it started with a recruiter step, then moved to a hiring engineering manager conversation, followed by an hour of coding and a behavioral interview.

After that stage, I was invited to an onsite that stretched across two days with six separate interviews. Most of them involved two people, with an interviewer and a shadow, and the topics covered system design, a 90-minute coding exercise, and multiple behavioral conversations—one with a manager, another with a product manager, and a longer behavioral prompt about a time that. There was also a final chat with two engineering managers that felt more like a chance for me to ask questions.
