Started with a call with the recruiter. Then I had a conversation with someone higher up in the FDE position -- management. I really valued this step as it gave me a good understanding of the culture / direction. Next I had a technical phone interview. I fumbled the interview, and alas a rejection.

Standard interview process. Total 7 rounds including Recruiter call: - 1 recruiter - 1 coding - 1 hiring manager - 4 deep dive: 2 coding rounds, 1 system design, 1 behavior There is an Indian interviewer very rude. Once the direction of interview is not followed him, he completely ignore by scrolling on his phone from that moment toward the end of interview. First time I ever see such an unprofessional behavior from the interviewer.
