Process

I was interviewed directly for a team (not a hiring event) at Bellevue, WA. The process took nearly 1 month. It all started with an initial phone technical screen with the hiring manager for about 1 hour. It was a coding interview. Then, after 2 weeks, I had three rounds of technical interviews; two of them were coding, and one was system design. I cannot post my questions here since I signed the NDA form. But as a guidance to someone preparing, I would say practice a lot on Leetcode. That would help you to think in different ways, even if you get a question that you haven't seen before.
