Interview
Very straightforward interview. Phone screen with recruited + a general coding assessment via CodeSignal. Moved on to 'power day' of 4 interviews. 1h each. Systems design, code challenge, business case, and behavioral. Interviews were extremely on rails.

Interview
This recollection is from a 2022 interview for DevOps position.
You'll take a coding assessment; after passing it'll be interviews.
I had 4 interviews, ranging from 40min to an hour long. One was HR and softskills. The other three were with different technical staff from varied departments/projects. In the fourth interview, it was a whiteboard problem-solving section.
As a side note though the title says Senior the role internally was Principal level. One thing to note was that the interview wasn't directly for a specific team. I was informed they will review and see if you fit within any available project/teams under that role's umbrella.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you create a resilient and reliable application? This was the workshop question. Then other modification questions will be given.

Interview
First round was a phone screen with HR. Second round is a Code Signal "assessment". It's not really a measure of your coding ability. The assessment is a measure of can you handle unreasonable deadlines and unnecessary pressure from management. They give you an average of 17 minutes per question. They start easy, but the final question is equivalent in complexity to them asking you to prepare and submit your taxes. The task is fine, but the time limit is insane, and reflective of management that has unrealistic expectations and deadlines. Don't waste your time.
