There were some interesting Leetcode puzzles, solved remotely. I received a positive feedback and invitation for onsite interviews to UK. I was asked to learn some 14 or so Leadership Principles. I didn't expect it, but 75% of the time they were asking to remind the stories related to these Leadership Principles and only 20% for actual coding tasks or tech questions. The UX of the coding app was terrible, you have to scroll constantly to read a task and write code in a little text box. 6 long hours (including the breakfast). Ugh. Remote interviewers were constantly loosing the connection. The interviewers were looking like they didn't sleep for months. After the interviews I had a feeling like I was raped. The feedback was that I did great, but they found a better candidate.

The process was standard for a front-end role. It began with an initial recruiter screening followed by a technical phone interview focused on JavaScript fundamentals. Afterward, there was a virtual onsite consisting of three rounds: a live coding challenge (DSA), a specialized React/system design round, and a final behavioral culture-fit discussion with the engineering manager.
