Just finished. Got the offer, taking it. Here's the part nobody writes about.
The coding rounds were fine, honestly easier than I expected for a company at this level. Both were graph/tree problems. One was a variant of a path-finding thing, the other was more design-your-own-data-structure. Medium difficulty. I was grinding for hard Leetcode and it felt like a bit of a bait-and-switch, but in the good direction.
The cross-functional round is where I nearly tanked it. They put me with a PM and a designer, not engineers, and asked me to walk through a time I had to change direction mid-project based on user feedback. I gave a technically solid answer about refactoring a service and they just... waited. The PM finally said 'what was the impact on the people using it?' and I realized I had been talking about the code, not the humans.
The Core Values round is not soft. The interviewer came with follow-up questions that went three or four levels deep. 'What did you do when someone on the team disagreed with that call?' 'How did you know you were right?' 'What would you have done differently?' Prep your STAR stories to go at least three follow-ups deep, not just the surface answer.
Overall the process was more humane than my previous big-tech loops. Recruiters actually replied.
