Coding Presentation Group Technical Behavioral
So the first round was basically talking about my experience, like asking me about coding projects I've done. Then the second round had two parts: a coding interview, and then a presentation with the group. The coding part was kinda tough, they asked me how to make my solution better.

Technical System Design
The interview process was great. It started with a technical phone screen where we discussed my project experience. After that, I had a Super Day on-site in NYC, which included two technical interviews. They didn't ask me to write code, but we talked a lot about cloud computing, scalable systems, and software engineering design.

Technical Behavioral Coding
It was 3 rounds in total. First, a phone interview that was technical. Then, two 50-minute interviews back to back which were technical/behavioral. They mostly asked Leetcode medium problems. The whole process was pretty smooth and quick, taking me about a month from start to finish to get the final decision.
