United StatesPosted Mar 2018 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I experienced a more structured, multi-round technical process—OA first, then phone screens, then an onsite with both coding and design—ending with a fast decision once I reached later stages.

Online assessment (HackerRank) — ~80 minutes with two algorithm/coding questions plus one design-question component.
Phone interviews (technical) — Two rounds of about an hour discussing algorithms and background; interviewers were described as professional and HR responsive.
Onsite (multiple rounds) — Four ~1-hour interviews: one graphics/3D-math round, two coderpad/whiteboard style algo rounds, and one OO design round.
Closeout — I received a verbal offer and then references were requested; in the other case, an offer decision reportedly came within a day or two
