Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 4 months.

It was very straightforward and easy. There was just an initial HR screen and then final rounds including technical and behavioral. They will outline exactly what to expect for these rounds. What they don't tell you is that it may take around a month to hear back, so you have to be patient.
