Process
I applied online and heard back a few weeks later for an interview.
The interview was 45 minutes and included a fun programming question.
I heard back a week or two later with an invitation for u-day in Menlo Park.
On u-day, we started with an interview, then had lunch and toured the campus, which is quite nice.
I didn't like the particular whiteboard question I was given, but it was reasonable.
The recruiters and interviewer were friendly, and it was all a pleasant experience.
My only complaint is that I heard back regarding the offer about five weeks after the onsite interview.
Questions
The whiteboard question involved designing and writing a data structure.
