3 rounds. One Codevue/Hireview (similar to Hackerrank), One Behavioral, One Technical
Codevue/Hireview given about one week after application submitted, then about two weeks later I received an email about moving forward, one week later met on Zoom with recruiter, two weeks later had a Behavioral interview then right after had a technical interview (two different interviewers) over Zoom, and then received my offer over the phone about 5 days later.
Tell me about a time you faced a problem in a team setting and how you resolved it, There was a question about honesty and integrity (I forgot what it was exactly though), Tell me about a time you had to work with others on a project, Tell me about a time you had to delegate in a team setting.
HASHMAPS! I had a two sum problem and a jumbled string problem for my HireVue/CodeVue, and then for my technical interview I had a two sum problem and had to rough code it, most of the technical round was explaining how I think and how I approach problems.
Make sure you're always being clear about your thought process, even if its wrong. The people reviewing your submissions want to see that even if you realize an idea you have is wrong, you can still think about it and come up with a better solution. Sometimes, it is okay to have a brute force answer, especially if it's a difficult question. But if you do it the brute force way, think about how it could be solved better, and explain that (you don't have to code the better solution). Also, one of the most impressive things you can do in a technical interview is knowing your Big 0 notation. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!! LEETCODE!!!!
