Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
Started with a recruiter chat, then met with a senior engineering manager. Next, there was a tech screening with two software engineers, followed by a technical interview with two other software engineers. After that, I had a product meeting with a technical product manager and a product manager, which was my favorite part because they were enthusiastic about their work. Then came a leadership meeting with two engineering managers, though I found it a bit unhelpful as they weren't clear on evaluation criteria or 1-1 cadence, possibly due to being new. Finally, I had a wrap-up with the senior engineering manager, which was frustrating because they couldn't meet my previously discussed salary range despite initial assurances. The technical interviews were tough, focusing on algorithms that didn't feel super relevant to daily tasks, though the second coding interview was better paced and more practical, involving organizing fetched data into columns. The initial screening felt like a rapid-fire test of knowledge.

Technical Behavioral
It was a long and tedious process, spanning over a month, and then an additional two weeks for them to get back to me. It included a preliminary phone screen, a manager phone screen, then a Zoom technical interview, followed by a second Zoom technical interview, and finally a 5-hour on-site that involved both technical and manager interviews.

Behavioral Technical Group
You start with a screening interview, the person I spoke with was super nice. If you pass that, there's a big group interview day for all the interns. You'll have 3 interviews in total: 2 behavioral and 1 technical, each with a different interviewer. They even give you a gift card for lunch. They ask individual and team-based questions.
