Interview
2 Leetcode style interviews, one system design.
The leetcode interviews were rather easy because you didn't need to apply any weird tricks. The system design one was OK too.
Sadly although I think I did OK I didn't get an offer, but everyone was nice and the the questions were reasonable.
