I applied through the careers portal, and the recruiter got back to me to schedule an interview. The first round was scheduled within one week, and there were follow-up rounds.
Software Engineer Intern

Software Engineering Intern
It was one round, two interviews: one technical and one behavioral. It took about a month to get the interview request and a week to hear back. The behavioral round also had some minimal technical questions.
