Process
I applied online. The process took one week.
It begins with a call from someone in Talent Acquisition, who was super accommodating from the beginning. After this call, there is a Technical Phone Screen, which consists of two LeetCode exercises. The first is medium, and the second is a continuation, but now hard.
