Pretty standard process overall. An initial screen using a third party, then a three round panel. Standard DSA questions, probably around the medium to hard range compared to leet code.

SLEAZY RECRUITER RESCINDED OFFER I went through final rounds and got a written offer with a deadline. Before that, the recruiter called me out of the blue past work hours. When I returned his call the next morning, he pushed aggressively for a comp number. He made weird personal comments about my unemployment and finances, which felt totally inappropriate. I kept it professional, declined to give a number, and moved the conversation to email. He sent the offer, I gave a reasonable counter, and then…silence. I followed up, got vague replies, and then the offer was quietly pulled with no explanation (still within the active window). It felt less like negotiation and more like retaliation.

I was contacted by a recruiter, who forwarded my résumé to the hiring manager. I went through a culture fit and role-specific interview with the manager. Went through a live Coding challenge that included unit tests, but I heard of other candidates getting LC-based easy challenges and expected to solve multiple ones. Then a System Design interview with a lead engineer. And in my case, I was also interviewed by upper management. I heard that sometimes there's also a take-home project step. Every interaction was extremely positive. All great people.
