The whole process was like this: First there was an HR Round, then a Coding Round, and a White Board Round. After that, there were two final In-Person rounds back-to-back. These included a Technical Design Round and then a Culture Fit Round with the CTO and Hiring Manager.

Behavioral Coding System Design Presentation

Started with a recruiter call, then there were multiple interview steps. It included interviews with the hiring manager, a 3-person panel (EMs and another principal engineer), the CTO, the CPO, another panel with two directors, and the CEO. Finally, there was an in-office visit where I had to architect and design something with the CTO, CPO, and EM.

Coding Behavioral

It was a 1-2 hour interview with standard interview questions ranging from behaviour to work related questions. It was conducted by the Manager and several senior developers. No language specific questions or technology related questions. Very Low-key and on script for the entire process. I had a few job related questions at the end that sounded like they were not answered in earnest but overall the interviewers ended up being my co-workers and pretty good people.
