Other Presentation
The hiring process started with a take-home assignment. If you passed that, you were invited to a panel interview. The whole thing took about two months. The interviews were quite formal. They asked really long questions that seemed designed to confuse you, with the actual question often coming at the very end. These questions usually had 2-4 parts, making it easy to get lost when answering.
