I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at X (South San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2018
Interview
Networking session then recruiter calls and then a technical interview. After this stage they fly you out to SF to meet some of the team for in-person interview. That stage is near the end. In general very good process if you go through a recruitment event which they host frequently
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q— how can we increase our understanding of user engagement
The recruiter got in touch to set up a screening call. I was asked basic questions concerning my background and my motivation. Then we had a coding challenge with a question I later found on LeetCode under the Twitter section for the last 6 months.
Case study was interesting; interviewer was previously from uber so some similar interview questions, techniques do apply, overall a good engaging exercise. Nothing to complain about. Overall it is okay
