Candidate-reported interview process
It was really great and smooth. The recruiter was very nice but I do wish there was more feedback at the end. Also, there’s like three rounds of interviews and a take home exam. In total can take up to 4-6 weeks
I found the job posting online and applied. About two weeks after applying, I got an email asking for a phone interview. The call lasted around 20 minutes.
It was a long process but everyone was really nice and helpful, including the HR people and the hiring manager. I didn't quite make it to the in-person part. I wish they'd let me know the outcome sooner.
