The interview process included:

• One screener
• One "high level chat"
• Three interviews with EMs
• One interview with a PM
• One system design

In total, SEVEN interviews were conducted.

It seems the interview process is a vestigial holdover from once being part of Google, which is not a good thing. This is especially true for a leadership role, where purely quantitative data (which it seemed was the only thing interviewers were looking for) is a poor indicator of a good leader. I feel as if I would have done better in these interviews if I had read off a list of keywords rather than actually having a conversation about leadership.

After HOURS of interviews, I only received a boilerplate rejection email and, when asked for feedback, was ignored.

There are a hundred and one typical EM questions.

Be warned: they don't really want to have a conversation or know what you think. It really feels like they're just listening for keywords, so be sure to have a list you can work into your answers.

System design was pretty typical. Start with a high-level problem, then dig into the bits and pieces of your initial solution.
