It was very long and drawn out, with lots of redundancy. I had to do a total of three coding interviews, plus a behavioral and project deep dive. I wish I would have been cut earlier so I could spend less of my time during the holidays interviewing. I spent a total of six hours on interviews that definitely could have been three or four (code, behavior, project). But they pay more than my current role, so I guess it's their loss too.

I don't think the SE IIs were the best choice for the coding interviews, especially since it was for their same position, and I found a lot of variance in "quality." The senior engineers were more helpful. I was told by one of my interviewers that a lot of people get tripped up by solving smaller problems and go for a built-out solution.

Tl;dr: Don't apply if you aren't good at coding interviews.
