The interview process is moderately difficult, with very real world scenario questions. First couple of rounds are online code pair, then on-site technical and motivational.
Experience of interview is stunning, the technical rounds are decently in depth and will explore your systems, scaleability and reliability understanding. It will put you into real world situations of the problem and test your problem solving ability. Be prepared with technical details of the larger projects you've handled in your career so far. Justify your reasoning and decision in the design making process.
Their office is amazing, and the engineers were very friendly. I was actually quite motivated to accept their offer, however, there was miscommunication with the HR about my compensational expectations which ultimately and unfortunately ended up in me declining their offer.
