United StatesPosted Feb 2019 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I got selected for an on-campus interview through my university’s career fair, and I ended up speaking with someone on the mobile team before the technical parts started.

Right before the interviews, there was a dinner that made the whole thing feel more relaxed and social than I expected.

After that, I was given five LeetCode-style questions at a medium-to-hard level. The format felt very coding-focused, and I kept working through each problem without much time to overthink anything outside of the implementation itself. Overall, the vibe felt positive, and I walked away feeling like I had done a good job.

I never ended up receiving the results for a while, so the process didn’t quite have closure even though the experience itself felt very good.
