I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at X in Oct 2017
Interview
I was contact by a recruiter followed by one behavioral interview with the hiring manager. Half and hour long interview where manager explained top level things team works on. Second round was vedio interview based on algorithms and data structure. Initial 20 minutes were spent by the interviewer on explaining what team works on and knowing about my interests and projects. This round was followed by another vedio round where interviewer asked about my projects in details and explained about the team. The interviewers were nice and very helpful. In the 3rd round I spent lot of time in just discussing, instead I should have written the code while explaining. They look for complete code even though the algorithms explained is correct but if you fail to write code then reject is sure. So write code along with discussion.
I really liked the team, wish I would have been successful.

Algorithms and data structure. It was design question related to a product twitter uses. More like object oriented design. How you will design your class and what does your object should contain. I was asked to provide the api to retrieve the objects stored in database efficiently.
Round 3:
Same process. Initial 15-20 minutes where interviewer explained about the team and then asked about my projects.
