+ 5 interviews in full loop.
3 coding and 2 design + behavioral.
The design interviews were standard distributed systems design. Open ended.
Finally they said they hired someone a week before the interview but they still wanted to complete it since it was scheduled. Got annoyed after the interviews.

Very smooth, interviewers were friendly, on-site and all interviews in the same day. Managed to grab lunch and talk about the company culture. Good guidance throughout the process. Two coding, two system design, one bar raiser, one hiring manager.
