Behavioral Technical
Applied online and my recruiter helped me set up a one-on-one technical interview. After passing that, I proceeded to an onsite interview that consisted of 4 rounds. Everyone I met was really friendly and the team was super helpful throughout the process. While it seemed like we were a good mutual fit, my technical skills didn't quite align with what they were looking for. I'd still suggest applying to companies like this because they are so friendly.

System Design Behavioral System Design
Had three sessions: first, a design session with four engineers, they asked a moderately difficult question with lots of open ends. Second, a personality session with two junior engineers. Third, a design discussion with two very senior engineers. Nothing too complex, it was just to verify what I implied I knew and that we'd get along. The interview seemed to go well and was indicated as such to my recruiter, but after a few weeks, the company stopped responding to email or phone. Yes, I was ghosted, turned out to be a waste of time.

Technical Coding
I got contacted by a ZipWhip recruiter for a technical phone screen. The interviewer was kind of late, about 15 minutes. They started by talking about ZipWhip’s products and services. It was honestly the least enthusiastic description of a company I've ever heard. Maybe they were having an off day, but I feel like interviewers should sound excited about their company and the opportunity. The interviewer's attitude and tone already made me decide against working there. Anyway, I never heard back from anyone after the interview. That's just how they operate, I guess.
