Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took four weeks.
It started with a technical recruiter screen, then a technical interview, followed by a technical interview and a bring-your-own-system interview, and finally a top-grade interview with a manager. Aside from the recruiter step, each interview had two people.
Questions
They asked to code an OOP question. It was not algorithmic.
