Process
After applying, I received an automated email offering me a take-home programming question. I greatly enjoyed the time-boxed, one-hour LeetCode-style question.
I also had a couple of calls with recruiters from the company and the department.
They then cancelled my series of programming interviews and said they would reschedule. When I asked when, they ceased communication.
