I applied online and the whole thing took about 6 weeks. There were 3 phone interviews and then 4 rounds of in-person interviews at their Hyderabad office. They also gave me a tour and I got to see their culture. I really liked the staff, culture, and environment. It's a shame they had to close the position because their hiring needs changed, so it wasn't filled.
