I had four rounds of interviews with a particular team, which I did not get to choose. Each interview lasted one hour.
There was some kind of connection problem, so it took about five minutes to resolve. The first interviewer gave a brief introduction and started with two behavioral questions. He was very interested in my answers and asked many follow-up questions before finally presenting a coding question.
The second interviewer began with the coding question and we had about five minutes for behavioral questions.
The third interviewer was quite relaxed compared to the first two. We discussed behavioral questions in a conversational manner, followed by a coding question.
The fourth interviewer was the director of the team. He was interested in why I was interviewing with the team, a choice I actually did not have. I would have preferred to join other teams and hope that in the future, coordination between HR and Engineering Teams can be improved.
