Two phone interviews, one assessment day (three in-person interviews).
Phone interviews about 40 minutes each, were fairly standard algorithm questions, one question with live coding exercise online. One Object-Orientated Design question.
In person interviews were: one coding interview (on functional programming style map-reduce transforming data sets), one algorithms interview (finding cycle in graph for thread deadlock detection), one systems interview (designing event logging system for large facebook game)

Pregunta 1
Hadn't practised systems interview enough (designing event logging system for large facebook game) - ask lots of questions, research possible architectures and trade offs in large distributed systems in advance. Be comfortable with back-of-envelope size/bandwidth/latency type questions.

The hiring manager round got really deep into my career motivations
I had behavioral interviews and then 4 in person interviews. The behavioral was straightforward. There was also a data query interview where they taught you a new "language" and had you execute basic queries in it. Then there was a system design interview. I had two of these. The last one they asked me if I was deployed to the moon to identify new species of alien what kind of system would I build.

The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screening followed by a technical interview with an engineer. The technical round focused primarily on LeetCode-style coding questions and problem-solving. The recruiter was responsive and the interview process was straightforward.
