Phone chat, code sample, code sample review and then 4 hours of back to back interviews. All interviews were heavily technical and exhausting. No conversations around company/team culture or fit. Very Google-esque problem solving only. Not much concern over design or readability of code, even testing. Had great code sample feedback but poor technical interview feedback. Company seems to value pure CS problem solving over practical software development skills.

The main interviews were very one sided, very little back and forth conversation, no pairing on code. Interviewers sometimes fell into an awkward silence when asked their opinion on a problem.

In the greatest possible detail, describe the what takes place when someone runs "wget www.google.com", from the keyboard all the way down to the wire, client <---> server.
