I applied on the portal directly for SSE Backend
YOE: 4

Round 1: Coding
Q1: Difference of frequencies between most frequent and least frequent
Q2: Coin change dp, fumbled a bit but solved it correctly in the end
Solved both, gave TC and SC.

Round 2: Architecture
Design Top K heavy hitter problem with log aggregation and low latency requirements.
Went really well according to me

Round 3: Culture fit (with EM)
Behavorial questions based on different scenarios. Was a good interaction overall.

Round 4: Coding (with HM)
Ques 1: Sort array based on square of integers
Solved optimally, but thinking of all the edge case and tests was a bit difficult. Had a discussion around thinking of more edge cases.
Ques 2: Top k frequent
gave PQ approach, he wanted more optimized code, I was not able to recall quickselect code. Then time was almost up with all that discussion around optimization, and the code gave NPE somewhere as well. Couldn't debug it in last 2 mins.

Overall: Good experience, but due to last question of the last round, I don't think I will get selected. Will update once and if they get back.

Update: Surprisingly, I got selected :D
