Process
The whole process took about two months with technical, behavioral, system design, and team matching rounds. The process was smooth, although long, and the recruiter was very helpful too. Even the technical interviews were very thoughtful, as the questions were not exactly LeetCode style, but solving real-world problems. They were very interactive throughout, which made me more confident.
