Process
You first get a coding challenge. If you pass, you move on to a phone screen. Then, for the final round, a full day of interviewing (4-5 technical rounds of interviews).
Questions
During the final round, one of the interviews was a system design question, then two regular LeetCode problems. Another problem was about front-end development, and the last interview was a talk with the manager, which also included some system design.
