First I did First Ascent in 2024, for which I had to do some assignments (~3 hours in total) and 1 behavioral interview. After that my process was fast-tracked and had 2 interviews - one with behavioral questions and easy riddles, another one with system design. The system design interview was by far the hardest. Also they required 3 referrals and were talking to each of them.
