Everything went very smoothly during the interview. After a brief introduction, we moved directly into the coding part, which was handled in a LeetCode-style format. There wasn’t much discussion beforehand, as the focus was primarily on problem-solving and implementation, making the process clear, structured, and efficient.

Was interviewed by engineers and managers from 2 different teams. The auth team and cloud engineering team. Had a few rounds with engineers from cloud engineering team and the team was very professional with their approach. The regular workout it LC based questions and queries on handling race conditions. Had another 2 rounds with the auth team one with an engineer and another was the final round with the manager. The one with the engineer was easily the worst interview i had to sit through. The engineer was dealing with some high sev issue and clearly had their hands full and was unable to concentrate on the interview. Despite me offering to reschedule if this was not a good time they went ahead with the interview which was medium level LC question that I am sure i got right. They had no comments on the code and just wanted to get of the call. The other round was with someone at higher levels from the auth team whose primary expectation seemed to be to find someone who would stretch without any questions. Should have the titled the role "Senior Slave Engineer". On a personal level I would recommend AVOID the auth team at all costs. For the sane folks in that team my heart goes out to you. Culture within that team seems not so great.
