1. Interview with Hiring Manager
2. Phone Interview
3. Virtual Onsite

The interview with the hiring manager was positive. It was a good discussion around the work I have done and behavioral questions.

The phone interview involved live coding, similar to a Karat interview, but without a second chance. There were four system design questions after the introduction. These were fast-round questions where I just provided my immediate thought process, which was not a good way to approach system design. The interviewer did not prompt that he was expecting more detailed answers, but just repeated what I had said. There was a coding question, mostly LeetCode Medium level, which needed to be finished in 25 minutes.

I received feedback after declining the offer that the interviewer was expecting more detailed answers on the system design questions.
