Behavioral Coding System Design
Got a call from a recruiter, then had a phone screen, and then a virtual onsite. The phone screen was mainly about my resume and past work, plus a quick coding problem. The onsite involved 5 parts: two coding rounds, two system design rounds, and a meeting with my potential manager. After the onsite, I talked to the VP and then got the job!

The whole process went smoothly. First, a recruiter contacted me, and we chatted about the job, the company, and my background on a call. After that, I had a one-hour call with the hiring manager. Then, I had a virtual onsite interview, which included 5 rounds: two coding rounds, two system design rounds, and one round focused on behavior and my resume. Finally, I had a wrap-up call with the recruiter.
