I don’t want to give anything away about the specific tasks I was asked to complete, but they were relevant to the business and at an appropriate level to gauge my abilities. The rest of the interview was more like a two-way conversation about the company and its plans, and my work experience and goals.

1st interview - easier algo 2nd interview - Harder functional programming algo, but whiteboarding it, similar to leetcode champagne tower (functional programming) final - building a state machine while pair programming and discussing differences between popular state machines, talking about scaling in previous companies, a lot of probing behavioral questions by the EM that felt like they were trying to push me into saying I had problems with previous colleagues that I didn't really (I loved my former job I was just moving to a new city)
