Process
I applied online through their careers page.
Later, one of the recruiters contacted me for an initial phone screen.
It took two to three weeks to set up the phone screen.
The first round was an initial phone screen with technical questions and one data structure-related question.
Questions
Not very difficult. The questions were related to data structures.
