Interview
I applied last fall but did not actually receive an email to interview until January. I first had two phone interviews. The first one was ok, but I had a hard time because I didn't really understand the interviewer to well. He asked me general data structures questions and then to code a heap. The next interview was better because I could understand my interviewer a lot better. He asked me general questions about how many bits and int had and the range of numbers they covered. He ten asked me to code a more difficult question which I got eventually, but kind of struggled on. I received an email to schedule a third interview. This one went much better. I was asked to code whether something was a palindrome and the intersection of two arrays. I got the coding pretty easily but struggled a bit on some of the complexities. I received an offer about a week after my third interview.

Interview
One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
2 rounds:
1st round: 3 behaviorals: Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you used Gen AI, tell me about a time you faced a problem in one of your experiences
Leetcode similar to LRU Cache but a variant
2nd round: 3 more behaviorals; tell me about yourself, a specific experience in my internship, a time you disagreed with manager/peer on a project

Interview
Pretty difficult OA didn't need to get full score. One round technical interview with SDE. Interview was pretty easy, most people I knew at school and friends ended up passing the interview. Took about 1 month to hear back after interview
