Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks.
Process was quite long for me. 4 rounds:
- personal
- technical project
- presentation
- follow up spanning almost 5 weeks. The people were super kind and helpful while I was in the conversations. Wish it was a little tighter though since it did take up a lot of my time for the duration of the process.
