The whole process took less than a month. The overall experience was good although I did not get the offer. The interviewers are friendly and helpful so feel free to ask them if there is anything unclear instead of making assumptions.
Pretty laid back. The interviewers are nice, and are usually very patient. The point of the interview is to see how you think, rather than getting the right answer.. Just brush up on data structures, communicate with your interviewer, and you should be fine.
After the application, I was contacted by a recruiter to schedule an interview. Had to do an online coding interview with two different people and a separate behavioral interview as well.
