I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Affirm
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn, where we scheduled a time for a quick chat over the phone. From there I was contacted about a first one hour phone screening. After passing that, there was another similar phone screen, and afterwards was an onsite. The onsite consisted of three coding rounds, a chat with the recruiter at the beginning and end, a talk with a PM, and a talk with the hiring manager of the team you are interviewing for. All of the technical interview questions were similar in difficulty.

Question 1
"Compress" a string of letters (ex. aaabbc) into something like "a3b2c". Similarly, "decompress" "a3b2c" into "aaabbc".
All the process took month. Soft interviews were nice, interviewers were talkative and it wasn't a cold proccess. Technical part was hard for me cause I don't have any real experience or school I do and learn everything by myself.

They're not necessarily looking for optimal solutions. Just explain clearly and have an intuitive approach and you should be good on the coding side. For the behavioral, review DEI and STAR.
