Colloquio
I applied on career fair. After about one month, I got the on-site interview. They send me google doc to assign the time of interview. The on-site interview is about 3 hours. I met 4 engineers. Each engineer asked me 1~2 questions about my experiences, and 1~2 coding problems. The coding problems did not focus on algorithm. They focused on OO design and how to solve problems.

Questions are about the experiences and coding. Each round there are 1~2 question about experiences and 1~2 coding. The coding problems did not focus on algorithm. They focused on how to solve problems and OO design.
First technical interview with engineers from different regions, followed by a conversation with US-based leadership.
The technical interview focused on AI-assisted coding and problem solving, while the second round was a more free-form discussion with management.
Did not receive customized feedback, only a generic rejection.

The first round was a brief phone screening (around 5 minutes) covering basic background information and general eligibility.
The next two rounds were technical interviews, each conducted by an Engineering Manager and a Developer. The discussions focused on prior experience, system design approaches, and architectural decision-making.
The live coding tasks were practical and implementation-oriented. One exercise involved array manipulation (similar to sliding window problems on LeetCode), where specific elements needed to be returned. Another task required filtering inappropriate words from a string.

Interview process was great! It was a two-interview process. First interview was with the team manager and the director. They asked me some behavioral as well as some technical questions. Second interview was a panel interview with the whole team in their office. A lot of whiteboarding/technical questions. The team seemed like a fun team to work with!
Overall, I'd say they have a well-designed interview process that isn't too difficult or scary.
It's a bummer that I didn't get an offer though, as I felt like I did really well. I was also bothered by the fact that the position was reposted on LinkedIn almost immediately after they sent me a rejection email. Odd timing. I really want to believe it was just a coincidence, but you just never know in this job market.
