Only three steps: a first meeting with a staff engineer to talk about my experience, then a system design meeting, and finally a meeting with a product manager.
The process was straight forward and they came back to me in a few days to make an offer.

The process started with a screening call that was rescheduled multiple times because the HR representative didn't join the scheduled calls. After finally completing the HR screening, I was invited for an onsite technical interview which went well — we built a portfolio screen end-to-end covering WebSocket architecture, REST API layer, MVVM with per-row ViewModels, security topics like Keychain and SSL pinning, and Combine throttling.
However, the Product Owner interview was cancelled on the day of the technical round due to sickness, with a promise to reschedule online. A few days later, without the PO interview ever taking place, I received a rejection with no feedback or explanation provided.

"We have a portfolio screen — design it end to end, from the API layer to the UI."
This was the core whiteboard question. They expected a complete architecture: REST API for fetching holdings, WebSocket for live price updates, Repository layer for data routing, per-row ViewModels for isolated state management, Combine with throttling for UI performance, and security considerations including token refresh and SSL pinning.

It was very pleasant. The technical interview was not a coding challenge but rather how you solve problems and how well you know your tools. The product interview was a more general assessment on how you work and whether you fit the company
