Coding Technical
The interview had two coding questions, one on linked lists and another on bit operations. The interviewer cared about problem solving, edge cases, clean code style, and explaining the solution step by step.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process involved a global interviewer in a previous round who was good and interactive. However, the local interviewer was defensive, hugging himself since greeting and not listening. This gave a feeling that he just jumped to the next question with a passive 'hmm, ok' and it felt like we were wasting each other's time.

Coding System Design Behavioral
It started with a recruiter chat, and scheduling was super easy with them. Then there were 4 technical interviews, mostly with folks working on filesystems in Boston and Israel, and one person who deals with networking/protocols from California. After that, I had an interview with the Hiring Manager, which included a technical part, some behavioral questions, and a discussion about the role specifics. The manager was really open about the job and how they lead, which was a good sign. Finally, there was offer negotiation, where the recruiter was helpful in reaching a package that worked for both sides.
Confirmed questions1 question
- If you have storage experience, be ready for some low-level coding and high-level design questions.
