- First round was a ~45-min presentation on a prior project. - One design question with the hiring manager seeing how I would approach the problem they are working on. This was the most technically difficult interview - One leetcode medium question with a software engineer. - Other rounds were a mix of behavioral questions and technical questions about CV/ML. - Each round had multiple behavioral questions (maybe half the time or more). I could tell they wanted me to be specific on my direct involvement and were gauging both how well I handled certain situations and how I could explain my core values. Overall not a very difficult interview, as long as you have solid examples for the behavioral questions/leadership principles. The technical aspect was actually far easier than several other non-FAANG companies I interviewed with.
