The first round online quiz is relatively easy. The Hangout interview was much harder, but the interviewer was helpful and it really felt like he was on my side.

Two online tests followed by a VERY in-depth phone interview. This company interviews a lot of talent and have a data-driven approach to optimizing the process. I felt that their online tests + phone interview were far more in-depth depth than most end-to-end interview processes I've been through.

I saw an ad for triplebyte on Facebook on Easter and I quickly took their quiz while waiting for my sister's family to arrive for the egg hunt. The multiple choice questions covered a wide range of subjects with several logic questions where you selected the "missing line". Several questions used languages I wasn't familiar with but the answer was obvious given the context of the question. I was quickly scheduled for the video call. Using the resources on the site I prepared for this call by writing a minesweeper game. During the call I was asked to create a command line "tic-tac-toe", and was able to "almost" complete 4 of the 5 tasks. I had found a bug in the 4th task and verbally explained how I would fix it, and I had already prepared the code to handle the 5th task. The next step was debugging a web crawler, this took a little effort as I wasn't familiar with the libraries, but I was almost able to fix all of the issues for the "fail cases". There was a Q&A divided into different subjects. I did well in each of these phases and the results of this phase were about what I expected them to be. Fundamental data structures were my weakest point as I haven't used them much while writing database driven BI reports. After passing this phase of the process I was assigned a talent manager, Michelle Lai. I had phone interviews with 6 companies which resulted in 4 onsite interviews. After this interview process I had several followup phone calls before finally accepting an offer.
