Process
A few months after applying online, I was contacted through email to set up a phone interview. The first phone interview was more general, with questions about myself, my interests in the company, and personal hobbies. The second interview was with two engineers. They asked a bit about my experience, then gave me an over-the-phone exercise: design a set of test cases for some random object they gave me.
Questions
I suppose the test design question about the random object. There wasn't anything all that hard.

- 5.0Great company to work for with some of the best benefits in the industryTest Analyst • Current EmployeeIrvine, California, United StatesJuly 23, 2020Pros: - Great benefits. - Lots of culture. - Leadership actually knows what they're doing. - Profit share bonus. (Not a guarantee, but they try and give it to us every year) - Free gifts. (For Christmas and random free stuff every now and then)Cons: Many employees complain about low pay, although the company has recently started taking big steps to address this. Promotions are not given out when the employee is ready. Instead, they're given out twice a year and only to a handful of employees on each team. This results in some people having to wait years for their promotion despite having been ready for it. Based in Irvine, which is a very expensive city to live in.

Many of them are "super" talented as artists and software engineers.Cons: Still a small company feeling.
