They start with a general coding assessment that's about 1hr30min. If you pass that, you'll have an interview with an engineer. They'll ask you to code two easy functions, then a harder third problem that has a few functions. The concepts aren't super tough, but the 1hr time limit can be pretty stressful, so it's crucial to write clean, readable, and working code. The final round is 1hr of medium/hard algorithm questions, followed by 30min of behavioral questions, and then 30min on class modeling using OOP. It's a tough process overall, but everyone is really nice and communicative.

Technical Coding
The technical interview was challenging. I completed the first round, which involved answering a few quick questions and then tackling a more substantial problem. It's important to note that you're not expected to fully solve the larger problem, as it has several components. My advice is to not overthink it; if you find yourself spending a lot of time on a particular method, you might be approaching it in a more complicated way than necessary.

They sent an online assessment with four questions that ranged from easy to hard. Then, there was a 2-hour virtual interview with a software engineer where I had to solve a somewhat complex problem, but it wasn't super algorithms heavy. If I passed that, there was another interview that was 1 hour with two software engineers where we solved two medium problems that were very algorithms and data structure heavy. Finally, there was a 1-hour interview with a manager and an engineer where we solved a class modeling problem and talked about my experience.

- The coding problems were similar to LeetCode mediums I've done online.
