I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SharkNinja
Interview
The interview process included a site visit (in total two rounds). The first round was a basic 30 minute interview with behavioral questions. The second (on site) included technical questions.
One 30 min call with the hiring manager where we talked about background/resume/past projects.
Then a virtual on-site where I talked to several engineers from the team/other teams. Most of these were design questions, with a few technical questions and resume questions. The technical questions were pretty straightforward and easy.
