Process
I applied through a recruiter.
Recruiter reached out after I interviewed. We scheduled a call and I received Coder Signal. I think it was proctored, but I don't remember clearly. 90 mins and 4 qs, 2 of which were regular algos. Another one was a very long system design question. I think it was to implement a cloud system storage. Recruiter forgot our scheduled call afterwards and I didn't bother reminding her.
