Interview
I applied it online,
The process took 4+ weeks, and then I received an email to schedule a 2 hours telephone interview.
The interview was done via telephone, and I was asked to type my code in a shared document on a website.
I was interviewed by 2 person, and each asked me a coding question and several data structure questions. I didn't do well in the coding part, and thus I failed.
