The interview process starts with the application. The next step is to complete the OA on Hackerrank (if your resume passes the screening, I think). Then the next thing to do will be the two 45 minutes interview with managers. This will be the final round, and then you get to hear back within two weeks.

Received an OA for this. The OA had two questions: one easy difficulty and one medium. They were similar if not identical to Leetcode's premium tagged questions for this company. Sadly, I did the OA late and got ghosted.
