Coding Technical Behavioral
A recruiter reached out on LinkedIn about a backend engineer role. The whole process lasted about a month, involving several one-hour interviews plus a full-day virtual onsite. One interview was surprisingly for a frontend role, and they kept asking frontend questions even after realizing the mistake. Things seemed good until I mentioned I was expecting a child. Afterward, I got an email saying they were moving on with other candidates, with no explanation or feedback on my performance. I feel it's only right to get feedback after investing so much time, especially when it means taking a day off work, and suspecting the rejection might be due to pregnancy discrimination.

Coding Technical System Design Behavioral
The interview process was well-organized. It began with a standard HR call, then moved to a phone interview where I coded on a shared pad with an engineer to check my coding skills. After that, I had an on-site interview that included four technical rounds and one HR round. The technical parts mainly covered algorithms and system design topics. Overall, it was a good experience, although the interviewers seemed a bit unprepared.

Coding System Design Behavioral
The interview process included a technical phone screen with Leetcode easy problems like Fibonacci and detecting substrings. Then there was an onsite with three interviews: systems design (Twitter), programming (flatten an array), and a non-technical chat with the engineering manager. Overall it was a good experience, and the recruiting team was nice.
