I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.

Screener directly into 2 hour 15 min technical. I will say the interviewers were nice, and the questions weren't gotchas. I take issue with scheduling a 135 minute interview as the first round. Candidates should meet a hiring manager or at least be considered a serious candidate before they're required to commit more than 2 hours of their time to a stressful and labour intensive interview.

Why do these big companies employ a layer of hiring, recruiting and HR if they're just going to copy and paste emails and behave like NPCs? Just use AI.

The reality right now is that you can prepare for days, subject yourself to more than 2 hours of technical scrutiny and finally feel like you performed well - meanwhile the company can invest a bot to conduct your interview, reject you arbitrarily with an automated email and provide no human feedback. It's so tough out here.
