Process
Had a phone screen done by a recruiter.
First round was with an engineering manager. It was mostly about "what if" scenarios and a bit technical.
Second round was with two engineers on scalability. One of them wasn't impressed from the beginning due to audio issues; the other interviewer was fine. The outcome was mixed, with good and bad feedback.
The next interview was with two more engineers about programming challenges. Regardless of the result, they were very engaging, polite, and made the discussion very interesting. The feedback was conveyed a bit late but was very detailed.
