I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FullStory in Sept 2021
Interview
Recruiting Process:
Initial recruiter call -> chat with team manager -> 1 hour technical interview -> 4 hour (4 - 1 hour sessions) technical interview session.
The recruiter and the team I was interviewing with were very responsive and I felt like the whole process was very fair. Everyone I met was nice and every technical interview question was challenging but more in a satisfying real world problem kind of way versus a difficult puzzle-y leetcode typpe of way.

Question 1
Questions were based on real life problems versus the tricky leetcode problems you might see on online practice sites.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FullStory in Mar 2022
Interview
1: Phone interview with the recruiter.
2: Webcam meeting with a team lead.
3: one-hour-long coding exercise.
4: four-hour-long coding exercise broken into four different exercises.
a: one front-end exercise in the language of your choice.
b: One API endpoint & access pattern in the language of your choice.
c: One backend exercise in a language of your choice.
d: lastly a round of behavior questions.
All & all I didn't get any gotcha questions or questions that felt insulting like "What is Object-oriented programming" or "What version is the IDE that you use is on?" (Yes I have been asked that in an interview)
They also provide a guide ahead of time with links about their company, how to answer behavior questions, how to prep for code exercises, links to videos of people taking coding exercises, and links to what web environments they use to conduct the interview. All of these made me feel like they were trying their best to set me up for success instead of ween me out.

Question 1
QT: Parse parse data from one structure to another.
QT: Build a frontend application that accepts an endpoint and triggers an API request. Now make it safe and QA it.
QT: Build and endpoint. Hit endpoint. Optimize it, what are its flaws? What would happen if the user hit the endpoint hundreds of times.

Interview
Started with a conversation with a recruiter. After that had ~6 interviews all ranging from technical, behavioral, and conversations with hiring managers all geared towards finding the right fit for the candidate.
The technical interviews consisted of some algorithmic and some practical. The great thing is that they are not trying to get you to regurgitate any specific algorithms, but rather gauge your critical thinking and problem solving skills.
Overall, it was a fun experience where I felt I could properly showcase my abilities and not like other technical screens which tend to try and break the candidate down.

Question 1
A mixture of practical and algorithmic but not regurgitation.
