Process
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.
The process was a recruiter screening, two pair programming rounds, a system design round, and then a cultural fit/hiring manager interview. Recruiters are amazing. They kept me up-to-date, followed up with me, and did their best to prepare me. Interviewers were a bit intimidating. It was a well-thought-out, clear interview process; however, it's clear you need to spend a lot of time to prepare for the system design round.
Questions
The process included medium-difficulty OOP questions and a bring-your-own system design interview.

There is still a lot of tech debt.
