Entrevista
One assessment, one phone screen, and the one power day as mentioned by the other interviews. Difficulty was fairly standard, but I did have a negative experience with one of the interviewers for the system design round - overall pretty condescending and took the question in a lot of ways trying to press answers despite me telling him I don't know.
Recruiters were especially really disorganized and downright rude to me. They missed their scheduled calls 5 different times, and called me during times I explicitly told them I wasn't available. During the offer call, the recruiter was especially condescending and rude, and didn't acknowledge any concerns - he even expressed frustration with me trying to schedule calls with other members of the team I'd be on or the hiring manager. No other company had ever shown me this much disrespect.
The team I met was overall great. I declined the offer due to my experience with the recruiters. It was clear they saw me as a number or metric, not as a person, which spoke volumes about the company culture.

Design a banking system that can handle deposits, withdrawals, and transactions.
4 rounds of interview including coding , design , case study, behavioral after clearing the code signal assesment. Coding was medium hard of 2 questions each. case study and system design was difficult.
This took a bit longer than expected, stretching over several weeks. The technical rounds were intense, featuring an LRU cache implementation and a problem on detecting duplicate transactions within a 60-second window. I was nervous at first, but it clicked for me when I realized I had practiced a similar approach on PracHub just days before. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive an offer in the end, but the experience was a solid learning opportunity. The behavioral questions felt straightforward, so I wish I had made a stronger impression in the technical segments.
