Coding System Design Technical Behavioral
First, I had a recruiter call to chat about my background and what I'm looking for. Then, there was a coding test to see how I solve problems. After that, I did a couple of technical interviews where we talked about system design and backend stuff. Finally, there was a behavioral interview to check if I'm a good team player, take ownership, and fit the company culture.

Coding System Design Technical Behavioral
The interview process kicked off with a phone screening, then a coding test, followed by interviews focusing on system design and data structures. The final step was a culture fit round. The coding test usually covers easy to medium difficulty problems. For system design, it's crucial to have a strong grasp of fundamental data structures like arrays, sets, and queues. Familiarize yourself with common system design scenarios such as rate limiters, URL shorteners, and fan-out patterns. Resources like Alex Xu's book and the HelloInterview website are recommended. I didn't make it past the third round and didn't get feedback on the second round. Honestly, it often comes down to luck. I'll try again later.

Coding Behavioral
The interview has three rounds and is well organized. First is a screening call with a recruiter. The second round is a technical interview, and you'll need to solve two easy Leetcode coding questions. The last round is a behavioral interview where they ask about how you work with others and handle different situations. Overall, the process is simple, professional, and easy to follow.
