Canonical Python Software Engineer interview questions

The interview process included four stages: an initial phone screen with a recruiter, a technical phone interview covering Python fundamentals and algorithms, a live pair-programming session on a real-world task, and a final interview focused on system design and team fit. Each step lasted between 45 and 60 minutes. The interviewers asked for explanations of tradeoffs and for code clarity.

Too many steps. First I had to do 3 steps (assessment) in order to gain access to actually talk with people which included: 1. Answer 30 questions 2. Do some online tests that are supposed to measure your intelligence 3. Do an online python assessment (similar to leetcode but easy problems). Then there were 3 interviews that lasted 1 hour each.
