I applied online and, a few weeks later, received a request to set up a 15-minute phone chat with a recruiter.

I then had a one-hour, mostly technical interview with an engineer.

After that, I was given a coding assignment that took over six hours. I had the opportunity to speak with an engineer to address any questions about the coding assignment, which was very helpful.

Next, I was invited to come onsite to their San Francisco office, with all expenses paid, for three to five interviews in a single day. The interviews included a mix of behavioral and technical questions.

Finally, I was asked to provide references. A few business days later, I received a final update on my application status.

Overall, my experience was very pleasant and painless. All my interviewers were respectful, considerate, and seemed very intelligent. The questions were fair, and the process was quite fast. I had multiple opportunities to request it be sped up if necessary. I am glad to have accepted the offer and have turned down multiple other amazing opportunities.

Data structures and algorithms; behavioral questions; concurrent software design.
