I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Rippling (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2023

Seems like interviewers have specific checkboxes that they need to check off. If you don't hit enough of them, you'll fail even if you solved the questions.
3 separate rounds, 5 total interviews
Technical Phone Screen - leetcode
Hiring Manager Screen - project deep dive
Onsite - coding - leetcode
Onsite - system design - standard system design

Application

Interview
1 phone screen followed by 3 onsite rounds - 1 coding, 1 behavioral, and 1 project deep dive. Questions were pretty straight forward and fair. I did not get the offer though since I was out of practice.
