Behavioral Technical
The process had a couple of rounds. First, there was a call with HR. Then, I had another interview with some people from the engineering teams. It was more behavioral than technical, mostly focused on learning about me and my experience in the field. There wasn't any live programming or a quiz. The technical interview involved asking about some programming topics and concepts.

Behavioral System Design
The interview process kicked off with a recruiter screening, covering my background and tech experience, pretty standard stuff. Then came what felt like a marathon of 5 back-to-back onsite interviews, which was a lot but cool to meet everyone. Didn't end up with an offer, but honestly, after putting in that much time for the in-person stuff, I was hoping for some actual feedback instead of just a generic 'we're going with other candidates' from the recruiter. I asked for feedback but never heard back. No coding tests, but they did hit me with some system design questions.

Behavioral Technical
We had behavioural questions in two rounds. The first round was with the hiring manager and product owner. The second round had two technical rounds with the lead software engineers. The questions were about strengths and weakness, why you want to apply, how you prioritize tasks, how you handle challenging situations, if you worked with a struggling team, and what you do when you work with an arrogant teammate.
