Process

I applied online. The process took two months.

  • First OA: Seven parts, thirty minutes each, except for a behavioral one that took one hour. It consisted of reading comprehension, which was similar to GRE reading comprehension, data analysis, and logic problems.
  • Second OA: Two parts, ninety minutes each, to write code that follows the specifications and optimize it.
  • Supplementary: A personality test and a logic test, which was like the 3x3 matrix pattern recognition part of an IQ test.
  • Behavioral round with your recruiter.
  • Behavioral round with another person.
  • Logic round: Doing simple math logic problems in front of another person. Your applied math degree will be overlooked if you don't do well on this, so do your best to be calm and collected.
  • Tech interview: More of a behavioral interview in terms of you and tech, plus a system design question in the context of what the company does, with no pressure to do great there.It took me about a month to complete the loop and another month to hear back from the hiring committee. I estimate that in total I spent about twelve hours of my pure time to do assessments, tests, and interviews. I don't think I would recommend people to go through this process if they have other opportunities. However, every interviewer was nice and genuinely loved the company.
