I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.

The interview process started by meeting the hiring manager.

Then I was given a small assignment to implement on one of their open source repositories and I was strictly told to not spend more than 2 hours on it. I scheduled an interview with two people to go over my assignment submission. Then I had a panel of four two on one interviews to meet various other members of the team.

How would you design the full stack request life cycle for requests that take longer than a few seconds to process? What are the considerations that you have to make?
