Hiring screen, then hiring manager interview, then final round panel consisting of 4 interviews. Recruiter was super friendly and active with helping me prepare for the different interview types - product sense, strategy, engineering manager, and system design.
I cold applied online and heard back about a week later. I then had a screener call with a recruiter who super friendly. The call didn’t require any preparation. They asked pretty straight forward questions about my experience.
