Process

The interview process started with a short 15 minute call from a recruiter. This was followed by a 30 minute meeting with a hiring manager which asked behavioral questions and about prior work experience. After this I had a 45 minute technical interview with one of the senior engineers on the team. Following that, I had 3 more interviews each 45 minutes with members of the team.

First was system design, 2nd was cultural fit, and the 3rd was a live coding question. I heard back the following day that they thought I was a better fit for another team. So I then had 1 more follow up technical interview for an hour focused on networking questions. I received a verbal offer the following day and a written offer 4 days later (This was over the weekend).
