Colloquio
Recruiter reached out via LinkedIn and I replied. Recruiter call followed by 3 technical phone screens, one with Hiring Manager and 2 others with Engineers on the team. 5 onsite interviews and 1 presentation interview about past project.
Hiring manager mentioned that he doesn't believe in Leetcode type questions and there will be not be any in the interview. BUT, all the coding questions were from Leetcode. I could answer most of them, except 1. Here are few more details.

Colloquio
I applied online, and a recruiter reached out to me. We had a regular recruiter screening interview. Moved to online phone screen. They will start with intros on both ends and ask about a project in detail. I explained my project in detail, but the interviewer didn't feel it was very challenging. Well, can't do much about it. Then went for a system design question. I explained till deep dive, and then the time was over. The last 5 minutes were spent asking any questions I had. I feel 20 min is way too little to design and discuss system design. But that's how their process is. I felt the interviewer was condescending.

Tricky with lots of technical questions would recommend knowing your stuff. Microprocessors were repeatedly talked about as well so worthwhile knowing what they are and now I’m trying to reach thirty words
