Process
There are two technical rounds. The first one is a 1-hour technical screen; it is an algorithm problem.
The second one is two rounds back-to-back of technical interviews. The first round is similar to the first one, and the second round is an integration test where you are given a code base and have to implement the requirement on that code base.
