I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
The first round consists of 2 interviews, one easy algorithm for me (binary search on string) and one BQ (questions like how you handle difficulty, solve conflict with others). After that, HR contacts you for an in-person interview, with a free flight, hotel, food, taxi, etc. The second round is 2 coding interviews, one medium and one difficult. I could not find the optimal solution on the difficult one.
LeetCode question. The first code interview is binary search on a string, the second on a tree (which is difficult), and the last on binary search.
