Interview
I was trying to find a job out of college. Once I passed 3 phone interviews I was flown out to Seattle and spent a day interviewing at the headquarters. Most of the questions were not too hard, and I was able to arrive at what I thought was an acceptable answer for them all. The worst part was the lunch with the product manager. I was asked some software design questions over lunch which didn't go too well. I thought maybe that could be overcome and continued the process, but I was called a few days after I returned home letting me know that I would not be offered a position.

2 behavioral 2 coding not very difficult. Behavioral is tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role and biggest accomplishment. The process is exactly the guideline they posted for interview.

It was a 2-3 round process, depending on how your interview went, with increasingly hard DSA questions followed by some HR and behavioural questions. First round was mostly easy and medium leetcode, followed by medium and hard questions in the second round and above on more complex topics.
