I had a phone screening, and it went really well. They called me back the next day and offered me the job. I did some research about the team I was interviewing with, which was really helpful for contextualizing some of the questions they asked me.

Phone screening followed by a virtual live coding. Phone screening was just about resume. Live coding (60 min) dealt with system design and behavioral. Then on site after that -- still need to do.

It was a pretty good interview where I had a lot of fun interacting with the interviewers and learning about available opportunities. I made sure to ask a lot of good questions, which was in my favor but quite stressful at the same time, to be fair.
