Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Coding Interview 1: List of entries containing dates, find all entries with a certain date. First unordered list, then ordered list by dates.
Coding Interview 2: Find all the prefixes from one list that appear in a second list of words.
OA + 2 Technical Rounds + Hiring Manager Call.
OA consisted of 3 relatively difficult problems.
Technical Rounds were easier, and pretty standard for what you can expect from big tech.
Hiring manager round is mostly a culture fit check, depending on the HM.

Question 1
Most people get LeetCode tagged Qs, but I didn't. I got more implementation focused questions with algorithmic elements to it. Follow ups were pretty natural.
It was a proctored technical interview, consisting of 3 problems increasing in difficulty. They were akin to easy to medium difficulty leet code problem difficulty. There was no person to person interaction. I had to record myself solve the problems.
