Process

The interview is all-day, starting at 9 AM and ending around 3:30 - 4 PM. It includes an hour break for lunch (they are nice and buy you the lunch!).

Candidates have a 45-minute presentation to talk about their past projects from their education and work experiences. This is very interactive; you may be asked to cut to the chase depending on the panel's judgment.

Following the presentation is a series of four technical interviews with your future team members. Each interview varies in complexity and size.

The lunch interview can be interesting, as always, but don't let your guard down until you go home.
