Software Engineer II Interview Experience - Barcelona, Spain
Process
The first coding interview consisted of two problems. The first was a warm-up, very easy, and the second was something around easy-medium, a DFS-related one.
Then, there was a homework assignment heavily related to the company. You normally have a week to work on that, and it took me about 5 hours to complete.
Finally, there was a second coding interview, which consisted of a more difficult problem, a system design one (pretty similar to the ones you can find on YouTube), and a behavioral interview where you talk about a project.
