Technical Coding
The interview process felt a bit disorganized. There was a period of silence with no updates before they eventually got back to me about moving forward. When I got into the interview, I was told the original role I applied for was already filled and that this was a different position.

Coding Behavioral Technical
Started with a recruiter phone call, then an online coding test that was surprisingly easy. After that, I had a virtual onsite with 4 meetings, each 45 minutes long, with engineers and managers. These involved talking about my experience and doing coding tests. Some of the coding interviews were too focused on syntax memorization rather than logical problem-solving, which I feel is a poor way to assess candidates.

Technical Coding System Design Behavioral
The interview process starts with a technical phone screen to discuss your background and then moves to a 4-round onsite interview. The technical phone screen includes questions about your resume and a medium-level data structures problem. The onsite interviews consist of: Round 1: Data structures and problem-solving with a medium-level data structures question. Round 2: SQL Database Design where you'll be given a scenario like 'Movie and Genres' and need to design the table schema, focusing on data normalization and consistency, plus write some basic SQL queries (groupby, joins, etc.). Round 3: System Design, a general question. Round 4: A Hiring Manager interview with typical behavioral questions.
