Technical Coding Behavioral
The interview process had some confusing parts regarding the interview content. I was told the phone screen would be a LeetCode style algorithmic round, but it ended up being a practical frontend challenge using JS/HTML/CSS. The question itself wasn't too hard, but it was unexpected. The onsite consisted of 4 rounds. My understanding was that there would be two rounds focused on frontend/daily tasks and one LeetCode round. However, I actually encountered two LeetCode hard rounds and one JS round. The recruiters were generally nice, though one relayed incorrect information about me to the main recruiter. The head recruiter was professional and seemed more capable. The technical interviewers were mostly friendly. I didn't get an offer, and they requested a call to inform me, which I found inconvenient as an email would have been preferable for rejections.

Technical Coding
The recruiter was enthusiastic, and I got to skip the screening round, then I had a call with an engineer, and proceeded to go to a virtual onsite. All the engineers were great, though the engineering manager seemed aloof. She arrived 10 minutes late to our lunch break, and left 10 minutes early (it was supposed to be 30 minutes). She seemed to be on her phone all the time, making 0 eye contact, and for most questions, she replied with "that's above my paygrade to know".

Technical Coding System Design Behavioral
The interview process started with a recruiter phone screen, followed by a 1-hour technical phone interview. Then, there were 5 onsite rounds: 2 coding, 1 system design, and 1 communication or managerial round. The questions were Leetcode medium. Overall, the process was smooth and not too difficult if you're prepared. Remember to have questions ready for the managerial round.
