Technical Behavioral
The interview had seven rounds, starting with recruiter phone screens. It was about 50% technical architectural design and 50% managing team dynamics as a lead. Seven rounds sounds like a lot, but it helped me understand how the company operates. Most of it was scheduled on the same day and didn't require much preparation.

Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
The interview process had 3 rounds. The first was a recruiter screen where we talked about the job and my experience. The second was a call with the hiring manager, focusing on team fit and my knowledge of the team's tools and technologies. The third round was an on-site with 4 interviews. I met with the hiring manager and a senior engineer, a product VP, another team's lead, and a tech VP. Two of these were technical interviews, one involving a coding challenge to refactor existing functions and the other a system design interview about software architecture. The other two were behavioral. It was a good experience; everyone was friendly and answered questions. The interviews felt relevant to the job, not just generic coding problems.

Technical Behavioral
I went through 7 rounds of interviews. I had pending offers from other companies and then agreed to provide me a decision by a set date. On that date they then said they would tell me the next day. They then failed to respond on that day and emailed me that they would not be moving foreword they day after that. Incredibly unprofessional from the perspective of the hiring manager but the engineers themselves seemed very knowledgeable.
