My process was shorter and heavily front-loaded. It began with a quick recruiter screen, then moved into a panel-style technical evaluation. The questions covered coding and system design, and nothing felt wildly unexpected. They were standard areas they wanted to see me handle calmly.
The process continued in a way that felt somewhat drawn out but still organized. I had four interviews in total, including conversations with managers and directors, along with two technical sessions. One technical interview involved writing a script to make an API call. The other used HackerRank-style exercises. Throughout the process, the interviewers were polite and the conversations didn't feel hostile.
The outcome wasn't positive for me. I never received a clear explanation for why I didn't move forward, although the process itself felt reasonable and respectful. I left thinking that being stronger in the specific formats they used, especially the technical exercises and their connection to system design, might have improved my chances. That wasn't how it played out.
