Interview
Interview process consisted of initial phone screening followed by a "super" interview day where 5 different interviews with 5 different members of the team. The first two interviews consisted of system design, where I was asked to design architecture for a software as well as a database schema given certain requirements. Later on I was given leetcode style questions, roughly in the range of leetcode mediums. The interviewers were very kind and gave hints if I got stuck.
