Interview
Applied and heard back from a recruiter a few days later. Asked to take a online assessment through CodeSignal, where you have 4 questions to do in 70mins overall it wasnt that bad I think they were (easy-easy-med/hard-hard).
After passing the assessment you are invited to their Power Day which is an all day interview and its pretty tiring consisting of a technical interview, a system design interview, a case study, and a behavioral. Everyone I met with was extremely nice and professional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to work with a co worker you did not get along with?
Standard tech interview process: automated coding screen with four tasks, followed by a day of onsites which consisted of:data structures, algorithms, systems design, behavioral. Not too hard. Very pleasant interviewers. Overall smooth process, and quick.

Interview
Look at the top review. They are going to ask you how to design a smart meter for multiple apartment buildings, then they are going to ask you 2sum closest to 0, then they are going to give you code and ask you to talk them through it, then they are going to give you a behavioral interview.
Another thing: The people who interview you are not going to be the people you actually work with
Oh, if you pass codesignal. You need something in the range of the 700s or higher, which is more forgiving than most companies that use codesignal
Mini-rant: If you are going to ask everyone the same questions, then base your decision on whether or not they got the correct answer, then the people you hire are going to be the ones who memorized leetcode/glassdoor answers, not the ones who actually solve problems
