Extremely organized and efficient process from start to finish. I was really impressed with how smooth everything was.

The general steps in the process were: recruiter chat -> choice of take-home project or phone screen -> onsite -> verbal offer less than 24 hours later -> reference checks -> written offer in less than a week.

I picked the take-home project because I'm terrible at phone screens. Enjoyed the project; I'll say it's easy to medium depending on your experience. If you understand how to gather requirements, build efficient APIs, and structure code in a clean manner, you'll be OK.

The onsite was definitely hard, lasted almost the entire day, and involved several interviews (1 hard algorithms interview with some system design elements, 2 medium algorithms interviews, 1 system design interview, 1 culture fit). All of my interviewers for my onsite had pretty interesting backgrounds and I got the sense that I'd learn a lot from working with them i.e. one of them was one of the original engineers behind S3 and DynamoDB at AWS.
