I applied through a recruiter. It was much easier than I expected. It started off with a technical HackerRank screening of two medium and one hard LeetCode problems. - 1st Round: System Design and LLD of something like a sports scoreboard (30 mins)

Conducted interviews and problem-solving sessions with four individuals. The problems ranged from basic to intermediate in difficulty. Ample time was given to solve each problem, approximately one hour per problem. A complimentary lunch was provided.

The process involves multiple stages. The last stage included a full loop with multiple interviewers. The questions seemed reasonable. If you perform well but are not considered a diverse candidate, be prepared for a potential multi-month wait time
