Referred by a friend.

Took about 1.5 months from application to offer, with a total of about 8 rounds.

• Had an initial call with the recruiter regarding the role and fit.
• This was followed by 2 phone interviews, each lasting 1 hour, which included coding and discussion.

Then had an onsite interview in a few weeks.

• The first round was high-level design plus role-specific questions.
• The second round was coding plus low-level design.
• The next 2 rounds were straightforward: one with an engineering manager and another with HR.
• After the onsite interviews, they scheduled 2 additional interviews with senior members of the team, both focused on past experiences, high-level engineering, and overall role and culture fit.

Received an offer within 3 days.

Overall, I loved the interview process because I realized that communication and collaboration skills mattered far more than mindlessly pumping out code. The interviews are geared toward checking these skills, which I really appreciate.

Interviewers and HR were friendly. Overall, the process was extremely professional with minor to no hiccups.
