Process
The process was pretty standard. I thought the deep dive into a project you've done was a good addition to the usual loop.
There were lots of behavioral questions, more so than normal.
Also, they messed up my interview loop and gave me a frontend question after telling me I’d get a systems design question. I went into that pretty cold after studying a lot for a question they ended up not even asking, which was pretty annoying.
