I was asked a code quiz. I completed it quickly, and it wasn't too challenging. I passed that round. The next round was not a coding quiz. Instead, it was a real problem the interviewer said he is handling. That problem looked a bit strange to me.

One phone call initially with a recruiter to outline the process. Four 45-minute technical interviews during the onsite. One final 30-minute interview with a hiring manager (only for some people is what I've heard).

I applied online. I cold applied, and I was reached out to by a recruiter. The recruiter explained the role and asked about my background experience. I provided my availability for two weeks, and they scheduled an interview for me.
