Process
I had two phone interviews back to back.
I coded in a shared Google Doc and was asked a bunch of data structures and algorithm questions. I was also asked about my previous projects and background.
In the end, I had 5 to 10 minutes to ask the interviewer any questions I had for them.
The process took about 3 weeks from scheduling to hearing back from the recruiter about an offer.
I would recommend LeetCode and "Cracking the Coding Interview" for preparation.
After that, it is team matching, which could take a long time.
