Interview
There's a lot of interviews with a ton of different people; mine were spread across multiple days and ended up being four or five actual meetings. Most of the interview process was talking through my past or technical explanations of things i worked on in the past. There was a pair programming test as well. At all of the parts I felt very comfortable with the interviewers and the subject material. They even post an FAQ about interviewing there to make the whole ordeal pretty smooth!
