Process
Applied online.
Completed an OA with two LeetCode questions.
Was invited to a 4x1 hour virtual loop, scheduled for two weeks later. Each interview consisted of 20 minutes of behavioral questions, 35 minutes of live coding, and 5 minutes of Q&A.
Received a call six days later that I would not be getting an offer.
