Process
I went straight to the onsite interviews because I had a referral. There were four standard technical interviews with reasonably friendly engineers. Halfway through I had lunch with an engineer who barely said anything. Before the onsite they gave me their list of specific topics to study, but those didn't end up being especially relevant to the actual interviews. It took about 3 weeks to hear back after the interviews.
