Process

Initially, I was chosen for a phone screen with a very senior manager. The interview placed more emphasis on scenario-based questions, although some questions related to core Java were included to make an initial assessment. They are quick; the phone screen went well, and I was immediately asked to confirm a time for an in-person interview.

The in-person interview lasted for close to 4 hours in total. It started with a written test and then progressed to one-on-one and multi-person interviews with employees from various teams. The type of questions they asked were above average, and they like to test your problem-solving skills.

Overall, the people are nice. They don't care much for your personality as long as you can solve problems. I am sure personality comes into play for other positions, but not for a programming-related job.

There is certainly a lot of structure to their environment, and you are expected to work hard and long hours.
