i got a phone call. then i went to the interview. first there was technical interview. then interview with higher management. followed by hr interview, and then a online test.

After filling out an online application, I was contacted about 2 weeks later by a recruiter who had me complete an online programming assessment powered by hackerrank. After about 2 more weeks, I was invited for an interview that ran from 7:45am-3:30pm. It began with a head-to-head challenge against another candidate to solve an online challenge in parallel. It wasn't too terribly stressful, but we were expected to critique each others code afterward which felt very awkward. After this, the other candidate and I were separated for the remainder of the day for fairly laid back questions about my resume and prior experience without any further programming challenges. It was nice to get the testing out of the way early so I could relax and really assess how well I would fit in. In the end, I was offered a lower title than what I was interviewing for without an explanation, but I assume it was a political move due to my young age relative to the rest of the team. After another 2 weeks, a drug test and background check was completed. After another week, a start date was finally set. I found this frustrating because each step of the process was spread out evenly thereby keeping me guessing and preventing me from traveling somewhere to relax prior to my start date. All that said, it was a positive experience because it is to be expected when being hired at a giant company.
