The first round was a coding interview. The question was new and involved outputting contact information that fit a certain domain. I hadn't seen it before. The difficulty wasn't too high, but I spent time debugging and writing edge cases. I only finished two parts in 35 minutes. The interviewer was a senior engineer, and there was a lot of interaction during the coding process. The Q&A session was pleasant.
The second round was an integration question based on bikemap. The interviewer was cold and didn't interact much. I wrote 2.5 parts, but got stuck on the third part and didn't finish it due to time constraints. I explained my approach.
The third round involved debugging using mako. I fixed two bugs, found the root cause of the third, but couldn't understand the interviewer's hint due to their heavy accent, so I didn't finish fixing it.
In my experience, language familiarity is important when interviewing with this company, as looking up syntax and libraries can waste a lot of time. Communication and interaction are also key.
