The process took around two and a half months.

It started with a tech screening where I described a favorite project and then did an easy coding problem. After that came the main loop: coding, system design, values (behavioral), and a case study focused on production troubleshooting.

The system design part was the hardest segment for me. I was asked about a feature related to the Spotify app, and I struggled to land it in the way they were looking for. In the coding portion, I got a LeetCode hard problem, similar in style to LC295, which raised the difficulty level significantly compared to the earlier screen.
