Process
We had back-and-forth emails where they asked for my resume and choice of domain, product, or infrastructure.
Then, they scheduled my phone interview. The phone interview was with a Facebook engineer. There were two phone interviews, but I didn't make it to the second one.
The interview was 45 minutes long. They took four to five days to inform me that I hadn't been selected.
