They have been using the same questions for everyone for at least the last 1.5 years. One of my interviewers told me he had to debug the same bugs in a repository in his interview which was over a year ago. Not a very fair process when some people have friends who could just tell them the questions (the code for all the interviews is saved to your laptop after interview since they make you use your own laptop during interview) Get familiar with JSON parsing for http requests, specifically look into GSON if using java.

*Round 2: Technical exam - 4 hrs. I was able to finish it in under 2 hrs. Scenario tailored for actual Starlink platform. Have to apply advanced algorithm concepts. No boring LC questions that people memorize or cheat on.

*Round 3: Technical Deep-Dive Interview - 45 mins: hiring manager will ask you to go deep into one thing from your resume, either internship or personal project. But it has to be something you can actually talk about in depth. Few lightning-round questions thrown in toward the middle to make sure you know your CS concepts and also test your conversational pivoting abilities.
