The process began with a 45-minute phone interview, followed by an on-site interview in NYC.
The company's offices in NYC are located in the Meatpacking District and seemed nice.
The phone interview was conducted on HackerRank, which allowed my code to compile and display output – a very positive experience.
The on-site interviews were conducted entirely on a whiteboard. I also participated in a system design interview, which was open-ended and quite enjoyable.
