I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at YouTube (San Bruno, CA)
Interview
The interview process onsite was divided in 3 parts, the first one was behavioral, second technical and third about the position. The manager was very nice and she didnt make me feel nervous but rather comfortable, she started with an ice breaker.
