Process

I applied online.

First, there was a technical phone interview. The interviewer was a staff engineer, and it lasted approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.

A week later, I was invited for an on-site interview. The on-site interview was almost a half-day event.

Four different people conducted separate technical interviews, each lasting 50 minutes. Following these, there was a short HR interview that lasted 15 minutes.
