Applied online. The first round was a phone interview, followed by an on-site interview. Recruiters were helpful. The only unusual aspect was being required to fill out a visa verification form before the on-site interview.

It was considerate. The interviewers were friendly and offered good hints that helped out in the process. I also liked that they planned the interviews with good gaps to allow you to prepare adequately.

It was pretty straightforward. You usually apply to join a team, and I interviewed with two teams. For the team I ended up joining, I did one phone interview, then four back-to-back technical interviews.
