Process

Phone interview with a recruiter to discuss the role and your experiences. The recruiter has a list of technical questions they will ask you, and you'll have an opportunity to ask questions at the end.

Video interviews with multiple engineers involving live coding, behavioral questions, and system design.

Overall, the experience wasn't bad, but I did end up leaving with a negative impression of the company. They will keep you updated and respond as if you're the only one in the world, but as soon as they don't need you, you become strangers and will be ignored. It might have just been the recruiter, but the recruiter does represent the company.
