Depends on the org
Depends on the org
You get to work with some of the smartest people. If you're lucky, you'll have great impact and learn a lot from senior engineers.
Your happiness depends on which org or team you're in. Some teams are great and healthy with solid engineering practices and priorities. Others are managed top-down, driven by money and deadlines. Your work-life balance will vary depending on this.
Also, frontend tech is slightly behind the leading edge.

Software Engineer III
I was contacted by a recruiter after applying. My first round was then scheduled. You can schedule it several weeks in advance. Generally, after clearing that round, you would advance to a final virtual onsite.
Software Engineer III
Had my first phone interview that featured a live code editor. I was asked a single design question requiring basic knowledge of data structures and algorithms. The interview was conducted over Google Meet, and I chose Python as the language.
Software Engineer III
Phone call with someone who refused to describe their role in detail. Very little opportunity to connect with the person conducting the interview. The interviewer was also rude a few questions in, so I ended the call early.
