I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Desmos in June 2021
Interview
One of the first companies to give me an interview with no experience. It was a really fun interview process with interesting and passionate engineers. I made it to round 2, but rejected to my lack of experience at the time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A Leetcode easy question, basic string/array manipulation and then a very simple take home problem.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Desmos in July 2024
Interview
I personally enjoyed this interview process: It felt relevant to the job (no crazy coding/algorithm gymnastics) and the people I got to speak with seemed genuine and passionate about what they do. There was even a chance at the end for me to ask Desmos questions to see if the company is a good fit for me.
