Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
The whole thing took about 3 weeks. It was a mix of behavioral and technical interviews. Most of the technical interviews were practical and collaborative, but there was one where the interviewer seemed to be trying to stump me with a leet-code style question. The recruiter was really good at keeping me updated and was supportive throughout.

Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
I applied through LinkedIn and went through seven interview rounds in two weeks. The interviewers were all very nice and sharp, making the interviews challenging but enjoyable. I was initially hesitant because of some negative Glassdoor reviews, but everyone was very open to answering my questions and providing context, which made me feel confident about my decision to join.
