      I applied in October, but didn't hear anything back until January. However, once I heard back from the recruiter, the process was very quick. I had a take-home programming test (untimed), and once I submitted that, multiple panel interviews. I received an offer the week after my final interview.

      Most of the questions were about C++ fundamentals, alongside some 3D math questions. There was also an architecture and design section.
