I had a screening, a technical interview, a project presentation, and a panel interview.

The screening and technical interview weren't out of the ordinary. I enjoyed the technical interview, but it wasn't necessarily easy. I was unable to answer one of the interviewer's questions, but that's what he expected – it was more of a gauge to understand my thought process.

As for the project presentation/panel interview, there were many, many applicants, well over 100, maybe even 200 of us interviewing. Each of us had to present a project we've worked on, explaining our roles and thought processes, along with answering any questions they had about it.

After the presentation, we had a panel interview, where some of us had two or three different sessions. This was all in one day, over the course of a few hours, so it was definitely a long process.

From the moment I applied, they took about 2-3 weeks to get back to me. All interviews took place within two weeks after that. I received an offer letter a week after that. Overall, the whole process took about 6-7 weeks.
