I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PEAK6 in May 2021
Interview
Had an impersonal talk with the recruiter, they didn't seem to enjoy talking to me or really care about the team that he was recruting for.
Sent me a hackerrank and it took me about an hour to finish. Had the same interview as many others had, one about terminals and kangaroo words. The questions were not very trivial to finish within the time period, and I got the auto-reject a few days after. I couldn't finish the kangaroo question on time and thought they would at least want to talk to me on the phone to explain my thought process before rejecting my application.

Online assessment, 2 round phone interview, then 4 hour final round all virtual. OA was relatively difficult. Phone interview and final round were both technical and behavioral. Scheduling the interviews was frustrating and required several emails, and the entire process took almost 2 months.
