After applying, I completed an online assessment and then moved into scheduling. The early experience felt pretty straightforward overall: there was a phone step that was mostly technical and then, once I cleared, I went into a loop. Across the loop rounds, I spoke with multiple interviewers and the structure stayed consistent around technical problem-solving plus Amazon-style leadership discussion.
In the loop, I got a mix of coding and system design, with the bar raiser included as well. My coding problems were on the easier end for me—things like finding duplicates and the longest common prefix—and I also saw a leadership principles round where the focus was on STAR-style stories and how I thought through ownership and trade-offs. I remember an additional round that leaned into system design and another that tied in AI / generative AI themes, and the overall difficulty stayed “average” rather than crushing.
