Process
I applied to a couple of positions on their career site and received an email to take an aptitude test. I'm not really sure if or how that was factored into my application by the team that hired me.
After a couple of weeks, I received an email from the manager who hired me. We then had about three interviews (two behavioral and one technical) with him and his team.
This entire process took about a month and a half.
