Behavioral
I talked to a junior recruiter. It went fine. I mentioned I'm not in the US and need sponsorship. He said it was okay. Then in his follow-up, he said they actually couldn't sponsor me right now, so that was it for the interview process.

Technical Coding System Design
A third-party recruiter reached out and passed my resume to the company. The interview process involved two phone interviews followed by an onsite interview. On the plus side, the recruiter was very accommodating when I needed to reschedule multiple times due to travel. However, for the second phone interview, I was led to believe it wouldn't be very technical, but I ended up being intensely questioned on computer vision algorithms and basics. It would have been helpful to know it was a technical interview beforehand. My main issue, though, was being told I'd get an update within two weeks after the second round, only to receive an automated rejection email within days. I was surprised that the company lacked the basic courtesy to have a recruiter personally inform me about the rejection. If this is how they treat potential hires, I can only imagine how they treat current employees. I'm actually glad I was rejected; I wouldn't want to work for a top startup that treats people so poorly!

Behavioral Technical Coding
It was a 3 step process. First, an HR screen, which was pretty relaxed. Then, a manager interview, which was even nicer and more relaxed, mostly talking about my past experiences and what my expectations were. Lastly, a peer interview with a senior engineer. This one lasted an hour and included a live coding challenge.
