System Design Coding Behavioral
So the interview was like this: first, a face-to-face system design interview with two people. Then, a live coding interview over Zoom. After that, an interview with upper management. Finally, an HR interview and they give recommendations. Overall, it was a pretty neutral experience, although one interviewer was kinda weird.

- Can you design the initial onboarding process for Lemonade? Assume we have a third-party black-box service to get customer info that's slow, and you need to address this to improve onboarding fluency.

Technical Coding Behavioral
Applied through an employee referral. The whole process took about 4 weeks. It started with a phone interview with the tech team leader. Then, there was an on-site tech interview with the same leader. After that, I had a home test where I had to write code in byteboard, but it didn't work out for me. So, I had to do a second coding task and was given a chance to fix it. Once I got the green light on these stages, I was invited for the final part: an on-site interview with the VP of R&D and an HR manager. The rejection came over the phone from the TA.

System Design Coding Behavioral
The interview process involved a screening, a system design round, a coding round, and a fit interview. Most interviewers were pleasant, though one team lead was quite unusual. HR communication was mostly fine, although there was some ambiguity about receiving questions in advance; however, the interviewer provided them on the spot, which was acceptable.
