I had the interview with 3 people. All of them were from the SF office and were Stanford alum. They were friendly and apart from asking the introductory "tell me about yourself", it was just focused on coding in the two interviews and the last one was purely behavioral.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Both the coding rounds asked me LeetCode Hard questions. I was able to solve them in their entirety but was not very good while coming up with corner cases which is why I didn't get the offer, I feel. Questions were based on Strings and Arrays.

Walking into the coding interview, I was taken aback when they asked about finding the K nearest restaurants based on coordinates. Just days before, I had stumbled on a mock on prachub.com that mirrored this question almost exactly. The interview felt straightforward, but I struggled with some behavioral questions. Overall, the experience was underwhelming; I expected more technical depth. After several rounds, they decided to go in another direction, which was disappointing given my prep efforts.

Question 1
Given a list of restaurants with their coordinates and a user's location, find the K nearest restaurants
it was very easy, they ask basic programming questions, can be solved with minimal prep, however they ask a lot about why u want to work here, be prepared to talk for a long time
