Interview
Most of the details of the onsite interview are given once you are past the initial screening.
The interview process can differ from one batch of applicant to another.
In my case, I was asked to show up at around 10:30-11:00 AM. When I arrived, there was about 30 other candidates waiting to be interviewed. At around 11:30 AM, the recruiter came in and and lead us to a room where we can have lunch with the full-time engineers ; this was the time to ask them about their work, company culture, Seattle etc.
Afterwards, each candidate is led to a separate room were they would be interviewed individually. Overall, I had four 45min interviews over 3 hours. They were all technical.

First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
