Colloquio
Initial tech screen was a two part question, backtracking solution, leetcode medium difficulty. On site was 6.5 hours total: a 90 minute practical programming exercise with a Vanta engineer, 60 minute system design, 60 minute coding (similar to tech screen), 2 hours of behavioral interviews, a 30 minute product demo and 30 minutes with an eng manager near the end to ask any questions. The process was fair but somewhat redundant (asked same behavioral questions across multiple interviews) and some aspects like the product demo would be better kept as an onboarding task to avoid wasting candidate time as the 6.5 hour ask is a major commitment.

Practical problem was to design a similar command to UNIX’s “uniq” with various constraints. System design question was to design Pastebin.

Really enjoyed the conversations, had a leetcode style phone interview. Onsite was 50% behavioral and 50% technical. System design + backend practical. Backend practical was coding plus understanding of distributed systems.

Talked to the recruiter and then scheduled a tech interview. The tech interview was 45 minutes with a senior engineer, but as usual my ADHD stepped up and doomed spiraled my brain into locking up. I didn't even remember that I have half a dozen working examples on my GitHub. "Code testing" so messed up for our career choice.

Build a recursive function. I still can't believe this is used as an interview question. In my 25+ years as a software engineer, I can count the number of times I have use one on one hand. Actually on half a hand... There's is always a better choice than recursion.

I had a phone call with recruiter after which they scheduled a leetcode style coding problem for 1 hour. I am not certain if they had expectation of solving 2 problems in 1 hour because there was something being said about first we will solve this problem.
In any case, the 1st problem was on topological sorting and I solved it in python completely. At the end, I enevr got sent to next stage even after solving a medium difficulty problem involving topological sort not just some array sorting. I found that very strange and quite disappointing from interviewing standpoint.
