Preliminary phone interview, and then technical interview. After I finished the technical interview they never got back to me. I emailed them to ask when I would hear back, but they never responded. Very unprofessional and rude, and the interviewers were unfriendly.

Interview
First had an 1.5 hour online interview, 30 minutes with HR and 1 hr with a technical software engineer. The engineer asked me about my resume / experiences for 30 minutes and then pulled up a CoderPad for me to solve a leetcode style question.
I made it to the final round, which was a 5-hour in person series of interviews. It began with an tour / QA with the HR head, then two 1-hour long interviews with software engineers - both of which asked me a few questions and then had me do leet code questions on a whiteboard. Then I had a 1 hour interview with two directors, who also talked to me for quite a while about my experiences and also finished with a leet code problem. Then lastly I had a "demo" meeting where a software engineer asked me about a problem and how I would solve it before showing me what the company did to solve it.
