Process
I gave them my resume during their tech talk at my school. A few days later, I received an email.
I then got a call from HR asking about my preference between Fullstack, backend, or frontend.
A week later, I had a 1-hour+ Hangouts interview. The recruiter was nice. They asked me about my passport, which is how they figured I'm international. I'm not sure if that has any effect on my acceptance rate.
The engineer who interviewed me was also nice. They helped me with the problem and explained the solution afterward.
