Process
Applied online but did not get a response until I emailed my school's recruiter about an exploding offer.
Had three back-to-back, 45-minute phone interviews in the same day. These interviews were completely technical in nature, each consisting of one or two algorithmic questions.
Heard back from the recruiter a month later, who informed me I had made it to the host matching stage. I then had a phone debrief with my recruiter, followed by several interviews with potential hosts. The host matching interviews were pretty laid back.
