Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months.
First round of technical interview: 3 LeetCode medium questions, all about intervals, two of which are commonly asked questions and one is rare. I used Java for the coding session. The 45-minute time is tight. You need to pass all 3 to go to the next round.
