Applied online through their careers page. It took about 2 months to get a response. Then there was one phone screening with HR. About a week later, another phone interview happened. Then, two weeks after that, a technical phone screening. Finally, I got invited for an all-day onsite interview. It included a 45-minute presentation and multiple one-on-one interviews. Everyone was really friendly.

After submitting my application online, I had a call with a recruiter. Next, I interviewed with the hiring manager. The onsite interview was extensive. It began with a 15-minute presentation I gave to about 20 people on a subject of my choosing. The rest of the day consisted of panel interviews with various people from different teams.
