Process
The recruiter was very helpful with resources. The first-round phone call was simple, covering basic computer science concepts and personal projects.
The interview loop consisted of about four interviews. They were okay, though two interviewers seemed to have an attitude, which I didn't dwell on.
Overall, it was a great experience, and I learned a lot from it.
