Candidate-reported interview process

talked to the recruiter, then did a basic coding screen and after that a DSA interview that was pretty much just a design question, it wasn't too hard.

It was a short interview about skills and experiences, and some questions about specific past work. The interviewers were generally easy-going and friendly, trying to make me feel comfortable.

I had a phone screen with the recruiter and then a 1:1 with the hiring manager. The next step was a portfolio presentation. I didn't get any further after these first 3 rounds, so I'm not sure what else would have been involved.
