Software Engineer II Interview Experience
Interview process
The process was quick with all interview rounds initially scheduled in the same week. The technical interviews were adapted to real world code implementations and didn't directly relate to Leetcode style problems. The system design round was very open-ended with no definite question and highly ambiguous requirements.

Interview tips
Would have helped to know more about the system design round and the general expectations of interviewer's for this round.
Company culture
Overall felt pretty good with the interview process. The team adapted the interview process as SDEs spend less time on writing code and use more AI tools in their workflows.
