Process
Overall, it was a good experience. There were a couple of rounds, including system design, live coding, a case study, and a culture fit interview.
After the interviews, they also shared pretty detailed feedback for each round, which I appreciated a lot.
Questions
They asked about concurrency, load balancers, and load balancing algorithms during system design.
