“The recruiter reached out with an online assessment shortly after I applied. I was given one week to complete it. The assessment was a 3-tiered coding exercise on Hackerrank, where I had to design…”
“There was a long wait between the time I submitted my application and when I was contacted by HR. I received an automatic reply following the submission and then noting for about 2 months, I…”
“It was a somewhat straightforward process - both questions I got I had already seen online. I would recommend going through Aced/Leetcode with tagged questions as other friends going through the…”
“Overall, the interview process was well-structured and gave me a good opportunity to demonstrate my problem-solving and programming skills. The interviewers were friendly, professional, and…”

“The process was more rigorous than anything I’d done at other big tech companies, but the recruiter was actually accurate and helpful on what to prepare. A few things caught me off guard: one round…”
“The coding round explicitly let me use AI, but they were not looking for a one-shot prompt. They were judging whether I could break the work down, catch the model when it went sideways, and run my…”
“The difficulty was not in the technical, but in the behavioral questions. It seemed like there was a hidden rubric beyond the basics of getting things done that were not necessarily apparent at…”
“Till now the process has been relatively easy if you prep well. Make sure to practice when to use which data structures, explain why you are using them.”
“By far the most technically challenging interview process I've ever had to do for new grad product management roles. Successive coding questions in a constrained time block.”
“Good. Communication needs to be good and technically sound you need to be.Overall, the interview process was well structured and gave me a good opportunity to understand both the role and the team.…”
“The coding problem was too long to be done within 1 hour. Should practice more and get fluent with basic language libraries and their APIs”

“The process was very clear and the recruiter guided me through each step with helpful advice. Everyone was easy to talk to and the questions were straightforward.”
“When they wrote that one column depends on another, I pretty much immediately jumped to cycle detection and modeled it as a graph. There was a lot of reading involved, but the solutions themselves…”
“The most awkward part was they kept questioning my ability to analyze data, and I had actually initiated and been a big part of the migration from Microsoft to analyze data, so it felt really strange.”
“Can choose between HackerRank and a local IDE for execution. The question is given in several parts; each part's completion is a must to proceed to the next part. There were three parts in total, to…”
