I applied online and received an email to complete a coding challenge online about a week or two later. The email stated that I would have 5 business days to complete the challenge, and the questions in the coding challenge would be general in nature and that studying would not be necessary. I figured since this was an entry level position, I should just review data structures and algorithms; however, there was one question that required a verbal answer that I would have needed more background on the topic in order to be able to answer it better. The email and original job post did not indicate this.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can't go into much detail about it, but there were several speaking questions that required a webcam in order for you to record your answer, as well as a few coding questions of varying lengths and time limits.
This was the first virtual interview I had, and the interviewer didn't ask me any questions instead he asked me to give an impromptu presentation on a project that I worked on. For the first interview it would have been nice to get a heads-up to create a presentation or be prepared to start coding a project in front of someone.

Question 1
Open a text editor and start going through and coding a project you worked on.
The first round was a behavioral interview where they asked about my background, my hobbies, and my early career plans. They asked about a project listed in one of my work experiences, but the project was related to the work of the role.
45 min virtual 1:1 interview with a senior engineer manager. In my case, I only had 1 round of interview. Some might have more than one interview, usually around 2 rounds of interviews.
