Candidate-reported interview process
It was 5 rounds total, 3 technical interviews, 1 system design, and 1 behavioral. The questions were pretty much leetcode medium, a lot of DS and design questions, and they might ask you to talk through your answers.
The technical interview involved 2 straightforward LeetCode problems. A significant portion focused on assessing your experience and alignment with the team's culture, particularly emphasizing your ability to take ownership and thrive in a dynamic setting.
I got contacted by a recruiter from my university, and we had a pleasant behavioral chat. After that, I went through a technical round, which was a pretty poor experience. It felt like the interviewer wasn't exactly thrilled to be there either.
