Coding Technical Behavioral
This was the best interview I have ever had. The recruiter was super friendly and gave me some great tips. They gave me a code exercise, a small project that was both easy and interesting. After that, they invited me to discuss my project and do a short coding interview, which was only two interviews total. I really enjoyed the code exercise because it was very relevant to my role at the company. The interviews were also focused on the specific position I applied for. The company has a strong technology focus and a passionate team. xAd is doing well and their technology seems very solid. The managers are open to discussing things and are very hands-on. I had a really in-depth discussion about technology and product with the manager. You can tell he is very experienced and cares about the team.

Technical Coding System Design Behavioral
I got approached by a recruiter from India for a Senior .Net Developer job. There were four 1-hour interviews. The first was okay, I knew some things and not others, pretty easy overall. It covered .Net, C#, and two algorithms (two sum + linq). The second round was with a Principal Software Engineer, mostly a discussion with easy technical questions on C#. They asked about AWS, which I didn't know so I said so. The third round was also a discussion with a PSE, covering .Net Core, C#, and AWS. The last round was with a manager and included system design questions, like which data structure for millions of locations (Quad Tree) and designing a notification system for 10 million users, both were easy. The final round was with HR and a VP. After that, the recruiter and I discussed salary, and I gave a number. Later, HR offered significantly less, about 20% lower than our discussion, which felt like a big disconnect. I ended up taking another job happily.
