Behavioral Technical Coding Technical
So I had my first interview with the most senior engineer. It started with some basic behavioral questions and then we went over my resume. After that, there were a couple of easy technical questions, but then two problems came up that were a bit tricky. One of them was about trees, but the question was kind of vague and didn't specify if it was about binary trees. I asked about it, but the interviewer didn't really clarify. The last question was more of a logic puzzle, not really technical. The next two interviews were strictly technical. The second interviewer seemed really checked out, which was off-putting and felt like a waste of time. The third interviewer was nicer, but honestly, after the second interview, I was pretty much done.

- Nothing unexpected or hard but the puzzle to solve which serves no purpose posting here since it was pretty arbitrary.

Behavioral System Design
I had an initial phone call with a recruiter, who was really nice and helpful. After that, I had a 30-minute phone interview with the "Head of Innovation." He was a bit late for our call. We got straight to it, and I talked about my background and what I'm looking for. Then, he asked me a system design question. He didn't give much feedback during my explanation. It felt like he was busy with other things because when I asked him questions, there was a delay in his responses. He seemed really uninterested and eager to wrap things up quickly. I'd say this was my worst interview experience, especially with this "Head of Innovation."
