I applied online. I interviewed at EAI Technologies (Vienna, VA) in May 2021
Interview
The interview is really not so bad and tough.
They expect the candidate to know basic answers and it's completely fair.
Round 1: Cognitive test -- general math and cognitive test online, fairly easy and timed.
Round 2: Behavioral interview with HR. This is an approx 30 min interview where the HR asks a mix of technical and behavioral questions.
It's weird that they ask to code in Google Forms, maybe it's easier for them to analyze, but honestly you should respect the candidates comfort as well and a reasonable one to at least code on google doc.
Q1: Fizz Buzz
Q2: Return true if String1 is reverse of String2
Q3: Create a Generic TreeNode class with N children in your own language.
Round 3: Technical Interview 1. This round is fairly easy too and the expectations from candidate are reasonable.
The 2 Software engineers interviewing you help you work with the given question on google doc.
Q1: Return sum of the given binary tree (asked complexities)
Q2: Print nodes whose subtress have even sum (complexities )
Q3: Is the given tree a heap?
Tip: These are basic questions and if you are like me who doesn't analyze code complexities, then its tough to clear this round, otherwise it's simple.
Also, there engineers won't waste your time and would dive straight into the tech questions and it's fair given there are only 30 mins for this round.
Some may find this rude, but I completely understand, they are bond by time.
But you do get time to ask questions, so utilize it good.
Overall, you can make it, just focus on the basics and good luck!

The process started with a phone screen followed two technicals. They said next would be systems design and interview with their CEO before full day rapid fire interviews on site.

Interview
Supposedly there are about 5 rounds of off-site interviews and an on-site full day of interviews with the whole company. First three rounds were:
1. HR phone screen with technical
2. Technical interview with newer engineers
3. Technical interview with senior engineers
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at EAI Technologies in Nov 2023
Interview
Did both stages of the interview within a week.
First round: HR Screening. Short meeting where the recruiter reads off a script some questions then you answer. Then you are linked to a google form where you are asked very basic questions to code in a language of your choice.
Second round: Meeting with two software engineers. No questions asked just went straight to coding problems once joined. They watch you code and assist you with your answer if anything is missing. Thought I did well, but did not get a email back after completing this round.
Did not feel good or bad about the interview process. It did make me realize that I wanted a more personal interview instead of one that seemed very choreographed.
