Interesting interview, many rounds and a huge time commitnent.
I went through all rounds without interviewing/getting a chance to talk to anyone from the prospective team.
The technical rounds was a bit dated.
The process is very well structured but the cultural interview felt way more demanding than the coding rounds. Was asked to design a flight ranking system in the systems design interview, was asked a lot about experiment design in the depth of expertise round.
Questions received from the cultural interview portion:

Very relaxed, respectful and easy going.
The interviewer was very nice and she just wanted to see how much I know but most importantly what I would do if I had to figure out sth by myself.
