I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at PIMCO
Interview
5 interviews in total which was too much. Including an assignment. The first was a manager interview and then became more technical each time. While it was good to see other members of the team the questioning was similar and becoming repetitive until they found something you didn't know.

Question 1
Java questions, Concurrent Hashmap, how they work and how they are concurrent?
Resume-focused questions and basic coding round. The interviewer was friendly and approachable, making the conversation comfortable. Overall, it felt straightforward and manageable, with a strong chance of clearing it. Happy to interview with them.
General chat about technology with some deep dive problem solving. There were two people with on being rotated in. The general mood and conversation was good exploratory. No complaints at all.
