Interview Process

The interview process was relatively straightforward, consisting of two main parts: an initial phone screen followed by a technical interview. During the phone screen, I was asked about my background and some basic technical questions. The interviewer was friendly but focused on assessing my problem-solving skills. I felt comfortable during this phase and was able to explain my previous experiences well.

The technical interview included coding challenges, specifically tasked with implementing a rate limiter. The interviewer provided a scenario where I had to handle event requests and ensure that they didn’t exceed a specified limit. The challenge was interesting and required a good grasp of algorithms and data structures.

Overall, I appreciated the team’s communication and the structure of the interview process.
