I applied through an employee referral.
The process took two days.
The HR representative was very nice and responsive.
After one phone interview, I was invited to the Menlo Park main campus for an onsite interview.
The interviews consisted of three rounds:
- The final round included 20 minutes of behavioral questions and 20 minutes of coding.
- All other interviews were purely technical.
