Behavioral Technical

It began with a phone interview, then moved to an on-site. The phone screen had personality questions and theoretical scenarios where I had to think through and provide a solution. This was followed by a deeper talk about the role and my enthusiasm for the company. We also covered my personality and how I'd fit in.

Coding Technical Behavioral

I did an onsite interview because I live in the Bay Area. It was 4 rounds with 4 interviewers in each round. The first round was coding DFS, the second was SQL coding, the third was LinkedList coding, and the fourth was behavioral questions with a senior SDE. Finally, the recruiter asked a quick OOD question. The whole thing took about 3 hours.
