Process

Started by applying online. I was reached out to by the recruiting team. The first round was a call with the hiring manager, which was mostly just an introduction to the company and the work. Next, there was a take-home assignment. Once that was submitted, there was a call to review the submitted code. After that was the final round of full-day onsite interviews. There were four 1-hour interviews.
