Entretien
I applied over the summer and did the coding assessment within ~2 weeks. Then 3 months later in November a recruiter reached out for the final round (there was only 1 round). The final round was a 4 hrs - three 1 hr sessions and an hour break. First round was coding, second was behavioral, third was case interview. The coding problem was a pretty simple hash map problem, behavioral was 3 STAR questions, and the case interview was kind of like the first round where they gave a problem but you only have to talk about pseudocode and then fix some existing code.
