Interview
I was interviewed directly for a team (not a hiring event) at Bellevue, WA. The process took nearly 1 month. It all started with an initial phone technical screen with the hiring manager for about 1 hour. It was a coding interview. Then after 2 weeks I had three rounds of technical interviews two of them are coding and one is system design. I cannot post my questions here since I signed the NDA form. But as a guidance to someone preparing, I would say practice a lot on Leetcode. That would help you to think in different ways even if you get a question that you haven't seen before.
Was a typical first round recruiter screen - pretty straightforward but didn't end up getting moved vforwards. Prompt, Professional and overall a good experience. They asked me about my background, explained the role and it was with the recruitment team.

Expect a lengthy hiring process that can take at least two months from start to finish. In my experience, there was approximately one month of interviews followed by another month waiting for the final decision. Be prepared for a slow timeline, especially after completing all interview stages.
