Cold e-mail from recruiter; ignored it for several months but then reached back out. They reassigned a new recruiter and went from there. Process start to finish was about 3 weeks, in the following order:
Initial recruiting screen (vibe check)
Initial Hiring manager screen (vibe check)
Initial Coding screen (difficulty 3/5)
Coding screen 1 (difficulty 3/5)
Distributed systems design screen (difficulty 4/5)

Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
It was slightly more specific than this, but approximately: Design a fault tolerant, polite web crawling service that can scale to 10M requests per second.
Recruiter screen then moved to a same day coding + architecture rounds. The people were friendly, but I found the questions difficult and hard to complete in the allotted time. The bar is very high these days, and short of perfection and strong internal referrals, the odds of success are low.
