Colloquio
Was contacted directly by a recruiter to interview on campus. The interview was fairly standard, about a leetcode easy-med and a few questions about my interests. About a week later I was contacted by the recruiter to move onto the next round, saying I had passed the first interview.
Unfortunately, after following up multiple different times over a month long period, I did not receive ANY reply after that regarding next steps and was essentially ghosted by the recruiter.

Colloquio
A call with manager followed by 2 45 min interviews. One was a typical leetcode question and the other was a system design question. The system design for me was pretty difficult since I am not used to it but the leetcode interview was easy, The system design interview varies for some. Some people got a simple OOP system design question but I got a real system design question where I had to design a feature.

Colloquio
OA -> 15min recruiter screen -> 2x 45 min tech rounds (one LC/algorithmic/DSA, one system design/behavioral engineering manager). Super chill, didn't expect to hear back in less than a week. First tech was on Hackerrank with an engineer, try to get 15/15 test cases passed and communicate your thought process. Second tech was a resume grill (really know those bullet points) and a simple verbal system design.
