Process
The first interview was an on-campus interview where I solved a coding question. The next was a 4-hour interview onsite, consisting of 4 different interviews. Some of these involved solving coding questions, while others involved talking about the company and designing systems related to it. It was a good experience, but I did not get an offer.
