Process
The interview process involved a first-round phone interview, followed by an onsite interview.
The onsite interview lasted five hours, during which I spoke with three engineers. They were very friendly and guided me through the problem-solving process. I encountered one recursion problem that I got stuck on, but the interviewer was very patient.
