Coding Technical System Design Behavioral Other
The interview process was pretty chill and standard. Everything went smoothly. Even so, just answering questions and solving the coding problem wasn't enough to get past the Tech Screening. The reasons I got rejected (pros) were like: "Needed a lot of help with Big O notation" (didn't initially give worst-case scenarios, but did after being prompted); "Focused more on managing expectations upfront for problem-solving questions instead of the tech problem" (I kinda mixed it up with behavioral questions because the prompt mentioned "need to be done in 15 minutes" and "Project Manager" together). Also, solving a DSA coding question in over 20 minutes was seen as too long, which was another reason for rejection. In the end, my core engineering skills didn't make the final cut; it all came down to whether the interviewer found my explanation of the coding/problem-solving question understandable and if I could solve it quickly, under 20 minutes, without second-guessing.

Behavioral Technical Coding
Had an initial chat with the recruiter to go over the role and my background. Then, a 1-hour technical interview that was mostly about theory. The technical part had two halves: 30 minutes of talking about concepts and 30 minutes of coding on frontend and backend. If you don't have a CS degree or background, you're probably out of luck. They really emphasize the theoretical stuff.

Technical Coding Behavioral System Design
So the interview was pretty nerve-wracking, but it was alright. The first round was pretty basic. Then the second round had two LeetCode problems, LRU and another easy one I can't recall, plus some questions about my interest in the role and a project I liked. The final round was with a senior person who asked about software systems and related topics.
