Behavioral
The interview started off cordial and to the point. They decided to move forward with another candidate because they were looking for someone with more data experience. The main reason for not moving forward was when I mentioned my aspiration to become a data scientist in 5 years, which they saw as a dealbreaker because it implied wanting more money later on. Another negative point is their California location, meaning remote workers have to pay CA state income tax, which is high. Honestly, it's probably good I didn't get the job.

Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
It was a three-part process. First, a 30-minute chat with the CTO, which was pretty chill and mostly about my background and their tech. Then, an online assessment to do on my own time; it was pretty easy with two Java questions, some multiple-choice stuff, and SQL problems. One Java question involved using GSON to interact with an API and filter JSON, which was tricky to figure out without a vanilla Java solution. The other Java question was to write an LRU cache. Finally, there was a panel with engineers and a manager that felt more like trivia, like asking about 'final' and String immutability. They also wanted a basic system design for their document/data processing app, which I don't know much about. There was some live coding, including a variation of 'two sum' and SQL questions, but I couldn't run the code. The third part really soured the whole thing, especially since two engineers just left the meeting without a word.

Coding Technical System Design
The interview included an online coding portion where I was watched coding live on a shared screen. Following that, there was an onsite interview with four interviewers, consisting of four rounds in total. The onsite covered topics like databases, data structures, Javascript, and system design, specifically designing a webAPI system.

Technical Coding
I had a phone interview and then a coding challenge, which then led to an in-person interview. The in-person interview was a cycle through different parts of the team. The team seemed nice overall. Some questions were practical, not like dreaded, esoteric brain teasers.
