First, you had to apply online with your resume. You would then get an email to complete some personality quizzes and some puzzles. Within a few days, you should receive a link to a HackerRank. If you perform well in the HackerRank, you will get a call from HR confirming your position. Once that is done, there is a final interview (1 hour) long.
There was a single behavioral interview offered by a different department after applying to 2 different positions and doing Hackerranks for them. Basic questions about projects on your resume and experience and the recruiters were nice.
