Received an email from a recruiter setting me up with a quick 45 minute phone interview with the hiring manager. Then the following week went to on-site at the Redmond location.
The first round of interview went very smoothly, was asked a bunch of basic computer science fundamental and data structure questions. Had to describe these concepts as if I was explaining it to someone who is not technical. I think she was looking to see if I was able to communicate my thoughts clearly. Then was given an algorithm.
Second round was with a senior engineer who focused more on my projects and how everything was working. We went more deeply on why I used these specific frameworks/databases. Then started going over basic web security topics and then ended the interview with another algorithm.
After lunch, I had my long interview with another senior engineer. This was more focused on my skills and knowledge with object-oriented programming. He gave a very vague description of what I was suppose to design and was expecting me to talk through everything. Then ended with a few data structure questions
My last interview was with the hiring manager and just talked more about how teams are structured and how everyone works together. Nothing too technical.
Overall I had a great interview process. Didn't get the offer but everyone was super nice and always willing to help.

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.
