Interview
Apply on the official website and afterwards receive email about hackerrank assessment, which is fairly easy with ample timing. When you pass the test, then HR will schedule 10~15 min phone screening ask basic intro question, also ask expected salary and will explicitly tell you the max including bonus. Then 1st round interview with junior staff with roleplay (just focus on the video shown and make sure to be friendly) and typical behavioral question. If successful, then go onto 2nd round with vp level and might be asked in a language specified in a role to see if the applicant is proficient. Not too hard interview if you research about the role and company well. Overall positive experience w/ quick turnaround for each round, not keep you waited unless rejected
