The loop felt pretty standard and moved quickly after the first step.

I had a tech screen initially, and then I went through four rounds on-site. Those rounds included system design plus a hiring manager chat.

Once I got past that, the pace picked up, and the emphasis in the system design conversations was clearly about building systems that could scale to large amounts of data. Even though I didn’t mention getting an offer from this run, the overall experience felt efficient and focused in what it was trying to evaluate.
