Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
There were 4 rounds in total. First, an HR round for screening and getting to know you. Then, two technical interview rounds that covered system design, LeetCode medium problems, computer security questions, and code review for both. The final round was with the VP and was mostly a behavioral discussion.

Technical Coding
There were several interview rounds. It was okay for the most part, but the HR person was terrible with communication and transparency. It took ages to move to the next stage, and the HR kept ghosting my emails, making me feel like my application wasn't taken seriously.
Confirmed questions1 question
- What are strategies for scaling SQL queries?

Coding Technical Behavioral
Had an online coding test on TestDome, then a phone screen with 2 engineers (they used video because I'm overseas). Then onsite interviews. One interview was with HR to talk about benefits and check personality fit. Two more interviews were skills-based, looking at my resume with one engineer each.
