Process
The overall process consisted of a recruiter screen, an online assessment, a hiring manager interview, and a virtual "onsite" consisting of a system design interview and coding interview.
The online assessment consisted of 4 parts, with each part building on the previous part, so manage your time well.
The "onsite" coding interview consisted of 4 short easy-medium LeetCode questions and then a final question that is much more verbose and real-world-like.
Questions
System design: Design a notification service.
