Process
I had an online technical interview and a short survey, followed by an informal chat with a recruiter.
The second round involved five interviews: four technical and one behavioral, over the course of a day.
The whole process was fast, taking about 6 weeks from submitting my application to receiving an offer.
Questions
Typical coding interview questions.
The first online technical interview was much harder than the live coding interviews.
