Entrevista
First was an online test with three easy problems. The first one was to find a bug in a function(it was to change an and condition to an or condition or something like this), the second one to convert a string of binary digits to an int and the third one was a very easy greedy algorithm.
After that, there were three interviews one after the other. The first one was started with behavioral questions then a technical problem(not really algorithm), then system design, then to implement a concurrent hash map(also had to implement the linked list). Code didn't need to run, but it needed to be clear. The system design was the bad one for me. I couldn't understand what the interviewer said, he didn't seem to understand my questions(I had to implement a system that sells vehicles and I asked how many vehicles are expected to be sold and he said all of them) and he gave no feedback if I was on the right track or not. He talked very little while I did the design.

45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
