Process

It was a long process, taking over two months from start to end. However, the recruiter was very helpful. The interviewers were friendly and smart.

Each round was about 45 minutes in length but covered the same amount or more questions than what were asked in an hour-long Microsoft interview. The focus was mostly on coding, with some small-scale design questions. There were no brain teasers.
