Candidate-reported interview process

I had an initial HR call, followed by a virtual onsite interview. The onsite involved questions on system design and some standard technical problems.

I had a Proctored CodeSignal OA with four questions, then a recruiter call, and finally a technical interview where we did live debugging, talked about database fundamentals, and problem-solving skills. They looked at my coding, troubleshooting, and basic systems knowledge.

First round was a chill leetcode, then a manager round. The last one was super tough, like an IT debugger, requiring knowledge of basic SQLite and a lot about SQL schemas and how to design SQL databases for a system.
