Entrevista
A call with manager followed by 2 45 min interviews. One was a typical leetcode question and the other was a system design question. The system design for me was pretty difficult since I am not used to it but the leetcode interview was easy, The system design interview varies for some. Some people got a simple OOP system design question but I got a real system design question where I had to design a feature.

Entrevista
OA -> 15min recruiter screen -> 2x 45 min tech rounds (one LC/algorithmic/DSA, one system design/behavioral engineering manager). Super chill, didn't expect to hear back in less than a week. First tech was on Hackerrank with an engineer, try to get 15/15 test cases passed and communicate your thought process. Second tech was a resume grill (really know those bullet points) and a simple verbal system design.
