Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
I got an email from the recruiter and had an initial call where we chatted about my background and what I'm looking for. She also outlined the upcoming interviews, which included two technical screenings, a system design interview, and a hiring manager chat. I did the two technical screenings back-to-back, each lasting 1.5 hours. The first involved some nested array manipulation based on specific rules, and the second was more about code structure, edge cases, and making it maintainable and scalable rather than complex data structures. Unfortunately, I received a rejection email about a week later. Everyone I interacted with was really nice, and the coding problems were kind of fun, so I enjoyed the experience overall despite the outcome.

- Update values in a 2D array based on neighbor rules, and then generalize to 3D.
- Convert numbers like 517 to 'Five Hundred Seventeen', then extend to very large numbers.

Technical Coding Behavioral
It was a really weird interview process, I couldn't really figure out what I'd be doing or get to know them. There were a couple of technical interviews and one behavioral interview with a senior manager. This behavioral interview was with someone who had a very strong personality, totally opposite to mine, so I'm sure we wouldn't click. So it felt like only one person, who I personally wouldn't want to work with, was judging if I could do the job beyond just solving typical puzzles. Also, it was obvious they cared more about songs going viral than making art.

Coding Coding System Design Behavioral
It was a straightforward process, with two technical coding interviews, a system design interview, and a behavioral interview. All interviewers were nice, professional, and knowledgeable, which suggests the company hires good people. The coding questions were of medium to hard difficulty on LeetCode. The system design question was standard in difficulty, but it seemed like they had higher expectations for this round compared to other companies I've interviewed with. Overall, it was a good experience.
