Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 days.
First was a phone call with HR, then a coding round. Next was 2 hours of system design and advanced coding rounds, 1 hour each. Finally, a 30-minute call with the hiring manager. Interviewers were very attentive and the process was smooth.
