It is a rather long and challenging process, but enjoyable and rewarding experience. The interviewers really try to challenge you and put you into uncomfortable situations to see how you respond under pressure. At the same time, they are really chill and accommodating and really try to help you succeed in the interview. They are really looking to see not just how much you know but how you solve ambiguous problems and arrive at new and unique solutions.

Interview
Misleading and drawn-out interview process. After hours of interviews and multiple projects to complete on my own time, including an interview initially described as a final round, I have not received any updates from the company.
Series of phone interviews and zoom type video calls. The process was fine, nothing special. They also requested I complete an at home project for them which I didn't really have time for.
