PagerDuty Senior Software Engineer interview questions

5 rounds. 1 recruiter, 2 behavioral, 1 live coding and 1 system design. Had to prep a design diagram in advance for the system design round. The entire process took almost a month. Thought everything went well and got a positive feedback on all the rounds but at the end they said they were going with someone else. Super weird.

The process started with a standard phone screen from the recruiter. About a week later I had a phone interview with the hiring manager with standard behavioral questions, e.g. regarding working in a team and software developer successes and failures. The on-site interview was three segments plus lunch. A 1:1 session with the hiring the hiring manager drilling in on more technical discussions regarding SW architecture and process. There was a live coding challenge where you can use any environment you want. There was also a database modeling session given a product idea to implement. The latter two sessions included remote team members dialing in. The interview ended with a brief overview of the company and benefits with the recruiter. Overall I thought the process was straightforward and fair, though I had wish there was more time to dive into what the engineering teams were actually working on. I also generally got the vibe that interviewers other than the hiring manager were super invested in the interview; I never heard a couple of the folks speak during the sessions.
