Employee Referral.

First Round: Behavioral with Hiring Manager.

• Went through resume, asking questions like: "What did you do at this company?" and "Why did you decide to join this club?"

Second Round: Two 1-hour interviews with a 30-minute break in between.

• First Hour: Technical (Coding in Go or Python, not LeetCode-style).
• Second Hour: System Design (a broad question to test knowledge depth).

Background:

• 4th year CS undergrad at a T15 US university.
• Male, citizen.
• 2 previous internships (no Big-N).
• Teaching assistantship.
• 2 university software club memberships (not ACM).

All of the engineers and recruiters that I met were very friendly and supportive.

The entire process, from referral to offer, took about 6 weeks.
