Recruiters and schedulers were very good and accommodating.
Most of the interviewers were great.
The coding round involved two questions: an LC easy-ish with binary search and a practical coding round parsing some logs. The interviewer was nice and engaging.
System design was also fine. It was an easy problem but had a lot of areas to discuss.
The Linux round was really bad. The interviewer sounded like a teacher scolding students. After every answer, he'd ask, "Is it? Is it true? Is it correct?" I suppose it was a way to trick or test me, but it was so annoying that I stopped engaging and started giving short answers just to finish the interview. He was extremely condescending.
Aside from that, the Linux round is just trivia.
