Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took two months.
The initial process involved a set of online tasks, involving logical reasoning and algorithms. A second stage involved more algorithmic tasks plus cultural fit questions. There were a few rounds of online interviews including a drill-down into answers on the cultural fit, more logical reasoning, a technical systems design interview (no whiteboarding!), and a chat about my background and motivation.
Questions
An algorithm design programming question, including a final step with optimisation and an explanation of my solution.
