The software engineer interview in San Francisco started with a recruiter phone screen, which assessed my background.

Next, a technical phone interview tested coding skills with algorithmic problems.

The onsite round included five interviews:

• Three coding sessions focusing on data structures and algorithms.
• One system design interview.
• One behavioral interview, focusing on leadership and culture fit.

Questions were challenging but fair, emphasizing problem-solving and clarity.
