Question 1
Walk me through your current project, then explain why you chose a regional architecture and the trade-offs around data locality and replication
solid, very nice interviewers, technical s were interesting and collaborative. Overall less leetcody than general and felt more like a conversation/ pair programming. Recruiters were very slow though. Most non coding interviews were very fluffy i.e just talk through your resume/ a project you worked on. There was an emphasis on how you like to work, i.e what youre looking for in both a team and work in general.
Total 7+ rounds. First recruiter round. Rejected after second round(hiring manager).
Recruiter round focussed on Cloudflare, comp details, rounds of interviews and few questions about profile
