Interviewed on campus at university. They took about 3 months to give me feedback.
Even though I passed the interview, I had to follow up several times with the campus recruiter for them to actually schedule my onsite.
My onsite was with a random team that didn't match with my interests, I interviewed with five different people, all of which were data structures and algorithm questions. I highly recommend LeetCode Premium as the questions were very similar.

After submitting an online application, I received a HackerRank assessment after passing the resume screening stage, then I was rejected after completing the assessment and did not proceed to further interview rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
