Interview
Applied job online. After 1 week or so, got phone call from HR, went over some background information, then set up on-site 1-on-1 interview with hiring manger within a week. Just a short 1 hour interview for the manager to screen out candidates. Went to 2nd round interview (half day) the next week to talk to the team members, asked mostly technical questions. There is potentially a 3rd round when you have to make a presentation about a design problem. Overall interview process is well-planned and competitive.
