It was a 3 round interview. First was a cultural interview, then a technical interview, and finally a management interview. The technical was a system architecture question. The cultural was about behavior and collaboration. The last one was the easiest.

Behavioral Technical Case Presentation

Started with a recruiter screen, pretty basic, just checking qualifications. Then a Hiring Manager chat, more in-depth, looking at product sense, execution, and analytical skills. After that, a case study, focused on why this company, startup experience, and market analysis. Ended with executive interviews, meeting with lots of directors and VPs on the team.
