Process
There were three phone interviews: the first was with the recruiter, and then two after were with engineers.
After the phone interviews, there is a presentation and one-on-one interviews over the course of one day. If your presentation is not up to the team's standards, they will not move forward with the one-on-one interviews. You need to have your technical details perfect during the presentation.
Overall, it was a good experience. Everyone was very friendly and easygoing.
