Interview
I applied through an internal reference. I quickly was contacted by a recruiter who scheduled an initial video hangout screening. During the initial screening, the recruiter went over the general interviewing process and asked a few very easy technical questions. This was followed by scheduling a call with an engineer for a technical interview.
The technical interview was difficult but not unreasonable, and the interviewer seemed to be able to follow everything I did easily, but they were not the most encouraging person. Be warned that they focus heavily on your ability to analyze the big-O run time of whatever you code.

Recently bombed an interview.
Started of the interview with introduction and I could not lift my profile after that. I applied for Software Engineer University Grad and they asked about CS core at the end.
Final result : rejected

Interview
A 45 minute phone screen. The interviewer was very rude and did not even give me a chance to finish most of my sentences. I assume that after the phone screen, if I moved on to the next round, there would have been a day of on-site interviews.

Interview
Got an interview through an internal reference. The first round was an online code test, which was 2 questions in around 30 minutes. The second round was a phone screen, where I was asked 3 algorithm questions. The third round was another phone screen which was 2 algorithm questions. Both phone screens were 45 minutes. I passed both phone screens and was called for an onsite interview, which is 4 interviews with 4 different people. Each one is 45 minutes and the interviewer asks 1-2 algorithm questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions involving arrays and dictionaries for the phone screens. Graphs and 2D arrays for the onsite.
