I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualtrics (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2016
Interview
I submitted my resume online and was contacted by a recruiter about two weeks afterward. Pretty typical process, where I had to do one technical phone screening before I went onsite for three technical interviews. Two of the interviews were one-on-one and one of the interviews was two-on-one, where one of the engineers was shadowing (to learn how to interview). The Seattle office was a blast, and got a chance to play some games after lunch with some of the engineers. After the onsite, I had a hiring manager technical interview, but didn't pass on to getting an offer.
Overall, all the engineers that I interacted with were friendly and the process was smooth and quick, after the recruiter contacted me.
Interview questions [1]

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualtrics
Interview
The whole process was remote. I was referred by a friend who works here.
1. Chat with recruiter
2. Chat with hiring manager (behavioral questions)
3. Coding Question on hacker rank
4. System Design question - interviewer didn't turn on camera, said very little throughout the process
The recruiter told me that they had been slow in making a decision, that they will get back to me. They never got back to me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time that you made a mistake. How did you handle it?
Started with a Recruiter screen - overview about company
ML Knowledge - basics of LLMs and your relevant projects
LeetCode - two basic easy and med leetcode problems
Takes a long time to hear back after each round - better to reach out after each round to ask about next steps.
First step is recriuter screen. Then 45 min technical with a software engineer, final round is 90 min technical and 30 min behavioral. They will have you schedule them on a web service called goodtime. Interviewer was very friendly.
