I had two CoderPad interviews over the phone, and an onsite which had around five to six rounds.
My CoderPad experience was great. The interviewers were smart and collaborative, and it was fun to talk through the problems with them to implement a solution. The problems mostly ranged from LeetCode easy to medium, with two questions per round.
The onsite interview was not as good as I had hoped. The interviewers were not prepared, and there was no structure to the process. Most of the interviews were over the phone or via video conference with engineers in other offices, which felt weird and uncomfortable. I was expected to verbally describe algorithms or write them on a piece of paper.
In one round, the interviewer seemed completely uninterested and asked random questions about my resume, making me feel like they had only found out about the interview five minutes prior.
