Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks.
The normal process is to first start with an HR interview, then a hiring manager interview. You work on a take-home project within a week. Then there is a final interview with 4-5 people in the room. The interview mainly focuses on the take-home project. They also asked some questions about previous projects and work experience.
