I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2022
Interview
The recruiter contacted me. The first call was just introduction and about the current company. The second one was technical call with one of the team member. After which there was a virtual onsite.

Question 1
1. Leetcode medium question on graphs
2. Some basic distributed systems questions
Very standard. Two tech screenings into an "Onsite" (virtual) Interview. Interviewers were very kind. One behavioral interview as well. For the most part it felt very stream lined and straight to the point.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at X (Vancouver, BC) in Dec 2021
Interview
Applied via website. Recruiter contacted me for a standard HR phone screen and later scheduled an interview with a manager.
The manager interview had some technical discussions but no code.
About 2 weeks later I received an email saying they wanted to move forward to the next round (technical), but the recruiter never replied after that.
