Recruiter reached out. From here I was sent a 3 part online assessment. Leetcode was medium to hard, unlike the practice exam. You should be comfortable with completing medium to hard questions in ~20-30mins to allow time for optimizing. Some of the test cases weren't visible so I spent a lot of time solving for these

Interview
Recruiter contacted me and scheduled a 1-hour phone screening from an SDE, some background and one technical question. This is followed by a full onsite: coding + system design + behavioral. One of the coding round is very hard, testing my knowledge depth, which I apparently don't meet; the others are standard leetcode coding questions of I'd say easy - medium level.
Enjoyed the chat with the team, but was told to be downleveled to SDE I.

Process: OA -> Phone Interview -> Interview Loop
I was scheduled for the interview loop, but a few days later the recruiter told me the position was put on hold. The recruiter told me they would get back to me, but did not. I tried to email my recruiter for updates but was met with silence. Overall, it was a waste of time and effort.
