Interview
Interview process was pretty standard and average - above average difficulty but nothing crazy or unfair.
Recruiter call to go over the role and then there is an unproctored coding challenge that is a multi part problem which progresses in difficulty. I finished the first two and got moved to next round.
After is a hiring manager call which is pretty standard behavioral, then system design and api design rounds to design certain features of the app.
Final round is a cultural which is a standard behavioral round.
Process moved along at a reasonable pace, interviewers were all knowledgeable and friendly, overall process was challenging but fair.
