Interview
I had 2 phone interviews, 45 mins each. Since I was applying from another city, I was not invited for an on site interview. I do not know if they invite people who live in the same city to the office for extra interviews.
The first interviewer focused on Basic programming questions on a shared document. I was contacted for a second phone screen which was more on my school projects.
In general, the process was very fast, Very knowledgeable people doing the interviews.
