I applied online. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Initial coding test and behavioral recorded questions. Next had 3 rounds: first behavioral, second leetcode medium and third leetcode hard.
You might be asked system design too. Took a week to get back to me.
Phone screen followed by a four-interview loop. Phone screen was as you'd expect. Loop consisted of an architecture panel, behavioral, behavioral, then two leetcode-style questions. One of them was based on a sorting algorithm.

Question 1
Asked questions based on implementing sorting algorithms
Interview round included 4x45 min loop interview: behavioral, trendsetter, coding, and system design. For the behavioral and trendsetter, I was asked mostly about experiences. My trendsetter got really technical, as I was asked system design questions...

Tell me about a product you deployed. For the coding round, I received a LC medium.
4 loop interviews: 1st round system design, 2nd round behavioral round, 3rd round Bar raiser, 4th round coding round. Overall, the process was good. I wasn't very well prepared for system design round
