The interview process had 3 rounds total. The first round was with an associate director, the second with an analyst and an associate director, and the third with a director. Some interviewers were from the New York team and others from the San Francisco team. All interviews were conducted via phone calls, and each round lasted about half an hour. The interviewers were friendly. The questions covered resume details and some basic tech topics, and were not very difficult.
