Technical Coding Behavioral
I applied online and heard back from a recruiter about a week later. After that initial call, they set up a tech screen. It took about two weeks to get an update, and then they changed the tech screen to a take-home assignment. Once I finished the take-home, I waited another week for the final round, which had one behavioral and one technical interview. Another two weeks passed before I heard back. After the final round, they wanted me to have a casual chat with one of the directors. Three more weeks went by, and then I got the rejection.

Technical Coding System Design Behavioral
I had a call with the recruiter, then a one hour tech screen, followed by a one hour data structure interview, a one hour system design interview, and finally a one hour collaboration interview. None of it was super tough, but the interviewers were kind of distant. One interviewer seemed to be texting while I was talking.
