Entretien
HR - HM - 3 tech rounds. In total less then 3 weeks. It's fairly fast and well structured. 3 tech rounds are general tech ( very closely related to your previous role and the role you are interviewing ), DA, and then system design is also very related to the role. Each tech round is 1 hour, it can come in different orders cuz for me system design came first. In the end the hr give me a feedback session.

Question 1
It was a backend + data role. A lot of database postgre stuff. And also cloud stuff. Like how kubernetes work? People are very nice.
It was organised and straightforward. I had 1 HR screening after OA then I had a round of 4 interviews (coding-sys design-bar raiser-hiring manager)
It focused on Java mainly and I talked about my past experience.

The process is straight forward but there are too many of them. First talking to the recruiter then a coding challenge, and then another online with a manager supervising and asking questions.
