Similar to other opinions here, my experience was a long and painful process of 6 interviews with different people from the company. After the initial call from the recruiter, you do a short leetcode style problem as screening. After that, they schedule 4 more interviews in the same week without being very clear about what these interviews will be about. I don't really understand why they act so mysterious about these interviews, but for people applying in my case all 4 interviews had 30 min of behavioral questions and then 30 minutes of either leetcode problems or system design. For this role was 3 interviews with leetcode problems and 1 of system design.
Once you finish all this process all you get is silence. Weeks go on and zero answer even if you contact the recruiters directly. I understand that I did not get the job, but after having dedicated so much time and effort, having interviews at 7 PM on a Friday to accommodate for US time zone, the least they could do is to let you know the outcome.
I read about this behavior on other glassdoor comments and I could not believe it until I experimented myself. It seems like, you either get an offer or you get silence. I think they should review this approach as it as it feels disrespectful to candidates investing so much in the process.

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.
