Entrevista
Recruiter phone call, and like the other reviews say, this person talks at a million words per minute. Which is fine, kind of funny, but you will miss most of what they say. They told me the technical screen over indexes on communication. But I don't think my interviewer really cared about this. The technical interview was fairly typical, not so much leetcode-y but more a long prompt and a bit of preexisting code to read through then you need to write code. Needs multithreading. I got through most of the prompt except for one final part which was just a copy paste of a preexisting if statement with a variable name change. So I thought it wasn't a big deal to do the copy paste when we ran out of time, but maybe they wanted to see that. What stood out to me the most was my interviewer was really only looking for code that matched their "correct" solution. But with code it doesn't have to be written exactly a certain way, like a plus or minus in an if-statement a+b < c or a < c - b. Who cares? I had some compilation errors though for a minute so maybe that did it for me.

Was reached out to by a recruiter. Spoke with them (described a lot about the business)), completed an initial phone screen, followed by a 3.5 hour onsite.
Team matching / offer came after the onsite.

Coding, system design, collaboration and ownership (conversation around previous project experience)
We scheduled an informal remote interview. I had a call with a head of engineering to talk a little bit about the company, what it does and so forth - basically to see if either of the parties would be interested. This stage went smoothly, the interviewer was very pleasant, attentive, and was happy to answer any questions I had (and I had a lot of them).
The next step was more 'formal'. I had it with the same person, although from what I understand it could have been another engineer. This interview was more about getting to know me and what I did at my job, what were my areas of expertise and so forth.
The next stages would've been technical assignment, a technical interview, and a soft skills interviews (or maybe a couple). However, during the interview it became clear that they were looking more senior people at the time, with experience of large distributed systems and heavy loads, which unfortunately I did not have. Nevertheless, the interviewer was frank and pleasant about it and it felt like a nice pleasant conversation rather than an interview.
