I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Castlight (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2020
Interview
I had a talk with one of the recruiters at the UC Berkeley Career Fair and received an email and a call a few weeks later to set up a phone screen and in-person interview. I went to SF for an on-site and was placed in a room for 4 interviews but only one of the interviews was in person and the rest were through a video. I was wondering why I was even asked to come in person given that most of the interviews were virtual. One of the interviewers over the video call was very difficult to understand and I was unable to comprehend his question because of the poor audio quality. The office, however, is really cool and in a great location in SF.
