Process
Interesting questions, but the interviewers did not seem super interested and all were pressed for time. One of the interviewers (I think the most senior one) was the most interesting/interested to talk to.
Phone screen, technical screen, then 4 final rounds:
- 2 technical
- 1 SD
- 1 behavioral
