Colloquio
Once your resume is accepted there is a 30m general interview with a recruiter. Then a 1h coding test, this one didn't focus on O-notation. Then there are 4 rounds of 1h interviews, these can be scheduled all the same day or you can split them. They are: - Coding interview with O-notation focus and discussion. - Discussing you values and soft-skill experiences with manager(s), generally those looking to hire you. - System design interview (similar to other big-tech). - Incident handling interview where you role-play handling an non-trivial incident and try to resolve both short term as well as long term.

Colloquio
Recruiter screen. Tech Screen.
On-site in four parts.
* Algorithms
* Architecture
* Management / Team
* Incident roleplay
The incident section was really good, very enjoyable.
I absolutely bombed the architecture section because I got stuck on the question of "how would you measure this thing?"

Colloquio
It was a fairly long process, but not particularly hard. Had a recruiter screening, a technical interview (LeetCode Easy), then a day with 4x 1hr interviews. These were values, system design, case study (bug finding session), and technical programming (LeetCode Medium). Then it was a placement meeting, and an offer call. Any decent engineer should be able to do it in my eyes.
