I was reached out to by a recruiter from SF. They asked me about my expectations upfront and ensured they could meet them before starting the process. I was given the LinkedIn profile of each interviewer beforehand to prepare and understand their backgrounds.

I had a total of 5 interviews:

1. 30-minute call with the Director of Products: Mostly about the job description, my experience, and the value I could bring.

2. 1-hour Tech screening: The first half was theoretical, delving deep into the technology domain and asking questions about the inner workings of components. The second half involved a coding problem (it wasn't that hard if you remembered the APIs). I didn't know the exact API calls but was able to write a close version and explain its usage, which made it clear to the interviewer.

3. 1-hour call with the Hiring Manager: Focused on product management questions, how I behave in a product-focused company, how I deal with problems in requirements, and how I break down complex problems.

4. 1-hour call with the Team Lead: General questions regarding my skills and information about the team I would be joining. It was more of an open discussion where I gained insight into the team's reality.

5. 1-hour call with the VP of Engineering: Behavioral questions revolving around how I handle conflicts and deal with problems. It was a very detailed Q&A, with a counter-question attached to my every answer. Although I enjoyed it,

Cons:

1. A lengthy interview cycle; I believe it could have been shorter. I felt some questions were repeated from previous interviewers.
