Process

Overall, the interview process is pretty much the same as with other tech companies, I guess. The point is that they react fast, and their interviewing process aims to let you expose your strengths.
There's a lot of communication during the interview. It's not like you are either right or wrong when answering questions; you communicate with your interviewer, and you get hints when you are stuck.
