The interview process included a technical phone screen (system design/past project deep-dive), followed by a virtual onsite. The onsite consisted of 3-4 behavioral rounds focused on management/leadership and one system design module.

The interviewees were a mixed bag. Many of them were down-to-earth, communicated with humility, and engaged well. However, a couple of interviews left a bad taste.

The technical phone screen interviewer constantly cut me off and went off on tangents. I was expecting to be rejected at the phone screen but was surprised to be invited to the onsite.

During the onsite, most interviewers were humble and asked good questions. The system design interviewer was also good, and engaged in discussing trade-offs and how to build.

One of the interviewers during the behavioral rounds, however, seemed rushed. They showed up late without an apology and acted like a "big deal" at Amazon. There was a lack of politeness in the way they asked and answered questions.

I felt I did reasonably well in all modules but didn't receive an offer. They kept me waiting for weeks, as they were also talking to other candidates.

Overall, it's a company with a mixed bag of people and culture.

1. Standard behavioral/management questions

2. System Design: focused on creating a database schema and API design for an application
