      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Carousell (Taipei) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      The process was pleasant, with fast response times from the company. There were four rounds. First round was with a chat about background and past projects. Second round was a coding challenge, tasked to build a simplified version of a popular website. Third round was two back to back technical interviews with engineers. Final round was a meeting with cofounders. Interviewers were friendly and helpful.
