Process
I completed one phone screen and then four back-to-back interviews. It was on the hard side, but manageable. I wish there had been a lunch break between interviews. They flew me first class and covered incidentals. The interviewers were all from different teams. One of the interviewers, however, was more focused on his phone than on the interview.
