went through the full thing in march for a senior SWE role on the content delivery side. six rounds total: recruiter call, eng manager, system design, coding (two questions, 45 min), and then two behavioral rounds that were honestly the hardest part.
the behavioral rounds were nothing like standard STAR stuff. one interviewer opened with 'tell me about a time you thought you were right and you were wrong.' not just the situation, they wanted the actual wrong belief you held and how long you held it. you can't bullshit that one.
the other one went deep on 'disagree and commit.' had to give two examples, one where I stayed in the disagreement longer than I should have and one where I committed too fast. they pressed on the second one hard. felt like a therapy session.
coding was medium-hard leetcode. system design was a video streaming / CDN scenario, which, given what they do, shouldn't surprise anyone. lots of back and forth on trade-offs at scale.
timeline: recruiter screen to offer was 3.5 weeks. everything virtual. recruiter was actually pretty good at communicating, sent an update mid-loop without me asking.
one real thing: the comp conversation happens late and the bands are genuinely wide. be prepared to anchor. they lowballed my first verbal. pushed back, they moved. fairly normal process but don't leave comp on the table.
