Heard back after about a month of applying. One final interview that consisted of 3 back to back rounds. It was behavioral, case, and coding. The overall interview was easy and manageable. Mostly leetcode easy/medium and can be random of any leetcode tagged questions. I passed all rounds but did not get an offer. My recommendation is to practice interviewing virtual like walking people through your code and not getting nervous.

Interview
I applied online through Workday, and I received an invite to interview within a week on their "Power Day" (I think it just means that it's their final interview, I'm not really sure). The one final interview consisted of 3 interviews in a row: technical, behavioral, and case. Case is definitely the hardest one (because it requires background business and company knowledge), but I think they understand that many SWE interns never have had exposure to this so they must've went easy on me.

Question 1
Technical: Two leetcode easys (you have to implement these) and one leetcode medium where you just explain what data structure(s) you would use to solve this.
Behavioral: Explaining technical thing to non-technical person, proudest project, one other I forgot. Generally really easy.
Case: Required a lot of background business knowledge, but at the end you had to reduce dead code in some if statements.
Three one hour interviews back to back, one behavioral, one case study, one coding challenge. Coding challenge asked me to design an LRU cache and process an array to find a missing element.
