Onsite (6 rounds):

• 1 x behavioral (1 hour)
• 1 x distributed system design (45 min)
• 3 x coding (45 min each)
• 1x machine learning design (45min): follow-up

Result: Offer

Thoughts: recruiters are very helpful along the way. They shared a lot of details on interview preparation and what to expect. Things also moved along very fast. They offered follow-up design interview round focusing on machine learning after I failed the distributed system design round. In terms of interviews, interviewers are very nice. In general, they would guide the interview process as I developed the solution.
