Process
Overall, the process was pretty straightforward.
I had a call with a recruiter, then a phone screen, and then an on-site.
The on-site consisted of four interviews, which included behavioral, coding, and team match type of questions.
Overall, it left me with a good impression of the company and the people I would be working with.
Questions
Behavioral questions, then some LeetCode-type questions that start with basic concepts and build up with certain restrictions, and system design.
