Pretty standard - phone screening, coding interview, HM behavioral interview. The recruiter and interviewer for the first coding interview were great. The coding question was relevant to the company and quite long, but not too difficult. I didn't finish, but it seems like they mainly look for your communication, thought process, and clean code. Now, the behavioral interview with the hiring manager was a little odd. The hiring manager didn't really seem like he was paying attention and was walking around the room tossing a ball while I was speaking. His follow-up questions felt like an interrogation, and some of them felt a bit intrusive. Safe to say I did not pass that round, but I believe the final round would've consisted of 2 technicals and 2 non technicals.

Question 1
Given a list of tuples of client and appointment length and several constraints, print out a client's schedule consisting of both appointments and breaks.
Phone screen followed by another with the hiring manager, then three more rounds of technical interviews. There's one at the end with an executive team member as well. The questions are pretty reasonable and actually quite relevant to the actual job.
The process was quite smooth and painless mostly but at the end, when they reject you, they schedule a call with you to tell you that. I'd much prefer to just get an email rather than anticipate a different outcome for a better part of the day honestly, especially if they are not going to be sharing any feedback at all.

Question 1
Standard coding and system design interviews, but not LeetCode-y.
Well managed interview process, but there were a fair number of steps involved. That being said communication and scheduling were well handled. Seems like a good company based on the people in the interviews.
