Process
The process can either be extremely long or extremely short. It depends on when you are about to start summer break.
I applied really early and didn't get noticed until close to finals. After that, the process became expedited.
The normal sequence for me was:
- General HR interview
- Initial team interview
- Technical team interview
- Repeat of initial and technical team interviews for however many teams were interested.
In total, I had about 5 interviews since more than one group was interested.
