Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
I applied online. The process took 2+ months.
I had three rounds:
- A 45-minute phone screen with a hiring manager.
- A 3-hour panel with four people and a 45-minute presentation.
- Follow-up of two phone screens with a different team.
Overall, the process was great. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to every member of the team, and the work they do is extremely exciting. I had to decline the offer since I was not too keen on relocating.
