I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Affirm (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
Discussion with recruiters by phone, on-site lunch and discussion with future peer. I went with another opportunity so stopped the process here. Really enjoyed talking with the recruiters and the on-site potential peer. It seemed like a very humane process compared to a lot of other companies.
Company seemed like a great place to work. Lots of smart, professional people, and a really cool concept. Plus a team that has proven their ability to execute.
Took roughly 2 months total. Recruiter was very fast to respond and the interviewers were all very nice and collaborative during the interview. Typical HR call, two technical rounds, and behavorial round.
Live coding #1 focuses on algorithms and data structures, testing problem-solving skills and efficiency. Live coding #2 emphasizes coding challenges and practical problem-solving. The behavioral round assesses experience, teamwork, and culture fit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked a coding problem on arrays and hashing to test problem-solving and algorithmic skills.
There were three interviews: one with HR, and two technical ones. Quick process, the recruiter was very responsive. Leetcode style questions in the technical interviews, the first one was easy while the second one was medium/hard.
