I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at HBO Max in Aug 2021
Interview
Phone screen with a recruiter -> technical interview (virtual) -> final 4-round technical interview loop (virtual)
Interviewers were nice and helpful; more focused on how you think through a problem rather than the solution
Very quick process. Applied through a recruiter and got called back for a single interview (a few hours with hiring manager who was filling multiple roles on different teams at the time). The technicals questions were straight forward and highly interview in general was highly conversational.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HBO Max (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2022
Interview
Went pretty good. 3 4 rounds. 2 coding rounds. Asked questions relevant to things being worked on currently at the company. HR rounds was good. They gave me an offer but at entry level, so I chose another better offer
