Process
I applied online. The process took six weeks.
The process consisted of two online assessments and around four interviews after that. The interviews were very different from your typical LeetCode-style engineering interviews, as the company values each candidate's uniqueness and growth potential and is even ready to consider those with little to no coding experience. Overall, this was one of the smoothest and most transparent processes I've been through, as the recruiting team was quick to share the updates and always gave advice on how to prepare for the next round.
Questions
The OAs were testing logical and analytic skills. One of the technical interviews was a system design.

The company also seems pretty disorganized at times and there seems to be a sentiment that things are getting worse; I wouldn't really recommend working here.
