I applied online and was referred by an acquaintance who works there. Once the referral was in place, I was contacted by a recruiter to set up the first interview.

I had a total of two interviews, both with different software engineers from the Provo and Seattle offices. Both interviews started with discussing a recent project and then went into the technical problems. Both problems seemed to be medium to hard LeetCode questions.

In the first interview, I was able to complete the problem. In the second interview, due to time constraints, I wasn't able to fully implement my pseudocode but had my plan clearly laid out. That didn't seem to be satisfactory, however, and I received a rejection email shortly after the interview.
