I applied online, and the process took four weeks.

  • Attended a hiring event that had four rounds of interviews, including two coding rounds and two system design rounds
  • Team matching: Once selected, I talked with a couple of hiring managers for team matching within the org that conducted the hiring event.
  • Finally, I got an offer from one of the hiring managers.
