Process
The process was well organized, and I met with a lot of different people in the engineering organization.
I had to actually code, which I appreciate at this level, in multiple rounds and demonstrate that it worked.
The day was pretty long, so I would recommend making sure you're prepared and ready for it.
I actually didn't eat enough during their lunch, so I could feel my energy levels waning in the afternoon.
