Reached out by a recruiter in Feb and started the process. First round with the manager discussing my past experience and some basic coding/design problems. The coding is focused on CS fundamentals like tree/map. The design is focused on low-latency systems. Thought did ok and later they asked me to go to the office for an onsite.

The onsite is pretty standard: working on a problem by designing the solution first, implement later, and walkthrough the code last. Final round involves a discussion with another manager. The manager also asked a lot of the background, similar to the first manager round.

Didn't quite make it because the firm was asking for ultra-low latency background but my background is kind different. Office/people are definitely nice, including all the travel preparation for the on-site.
