Process

After a first screening interview with a technical recruiter, I had a LeetCode-like interview. Then, four more interviews (not necessarily done in one shot):

  • Technical:
    • One more coding
    • System design
  • Behavioral:
    • Experience
    • Values

After that, I had a team matching with my potential future skip-level manager.

Overall, people were really nice and caring. The tech recruiter was super helpful, providing a lot of feedback, advice, and answers to some uncommon questions.

It was both a challenging and nice experience.
