I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IXL Learning (Santa Barbara, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
I applied through a local career fair. I was sent a coding challenge via HackerRank and had 3 days to complete it. Despite completing the challenge, they chose not to move forward with the interview process, which I thought was unfortunate.
The coding challenge has 4 questions, and unfortunately it's timed for 90 minutes. On a scale of 1 (Fizzbuzz) to 10 (NP-hard problems), the questions were about a 4 in difficulty, but you can't really afford to waste time.
If you've never done a HackerRank coding interview I would recommend doing their optional sample test (timed for 30 minutes) to get a hang of it. You can find the answers to similar coding challenges from the company on Github as well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given two strings, how would you compute the minimum number of characters that would need to be changed so that the two strings are palindromes?
Lengthy interview process with a super day at the end. 4 OAs to complete, all of these being quite easy. Then you move on to a technical round which you can solve if you practice enough leetcode hards. Final round is 3 technical interviews and a behavioral. I recommend reviewing priority queues.

Leetcode questions similar to medium/hard level (stuff with hash maps)
There are multiple rounds. Starts with a phone call with a recruiter. After that, there is a technical round with an engineer, Then after that, it was three back to back technical rounds in the same day.
