Question 1
Dice game, 2 system design and coding question about word guessing.
It was whole day interview from 9 to 5. Each hour new team interviewed me with new design problem. The last one was with HR and on my answer about salary expectations, she reasked and said they need to think. I did not got offer.
Three-stage process: recruiter screening, a test task and on-site interview. Both test task and the on-site were simple and straightforward, with focus on practical skills. On-site included the prospective team lead, VP and a team lead from another team in the same location.
