Positive experience

Difficult interview

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Chan Zuckerberg Initiative

Interview

The interview process was incredible. I got to meet so many interesting and talented software engineers on different teams, as well as an incredibly caring team of recruiters. I remember the process involving a coding interview through Karat, a recruiter call, and then finally a coding and behavioral interview with two engineers at CZI.
