I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.

It was a 4-step interview for me:

• Initial interview with HR about my experience (30 minutes).
• Live coding a very basic app (45 minutes). Nothing catchy.
• System design interview (45 minutes). It was a good opportunity to show my knowledge in depth here. Again, nothing unexpected.
• Interview with hiring manager and a director (60 minutes). Probably the hardest one, as I needed to prove my soft skills and being a culture fit. These qualities are definitely harder to measure or prove, and you will need to answer hard personal questions.

In total, it took me around 3 weeks from start until I got an offer, and it could have been faster if I was more available. The HR was super responsive, giving me feedback just a few hours after each interview. Also, they provided me with some documentation to help prepare for each interview in advance. It was the first time I had this from a company, so I highly appreciated it.

Regarding the offer, one can find better salaries in the US or even in the EU in special cases. But for a company hiring remotely all over the world, it was a reasonable offer, and I decided to take it. I decided to go for the flexibility and work-life balance that seems to be offered.
