I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2017
Interview
This is the first round of the entire process. You need to record a video that answers some pre-set questions through a online platform. You can only see those questions after starting the interview. You have 30s to prepare each question and you have 3min to record your answer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They are all behavior questions:
1.tell me about one of your projects.
2.How do you learn new skills.
3.tell me about the most difficult bug that you met and how you handle it.
Phone screen followed by a four-interview loop. Phone screen was as you'd expect. Loop consisted of an architecture panel, behavioral, behavioral, then two leetcode-style questions. One of them was based on a sorting algorithm.

Question 1
Asked questions based on implementing sorting algorithms
Interview round included 4x45 min loop interview: behavioral, trendsetter, coding, and system design. For the behavioral and trendsetter, I was asked mostly about experiences. My trendsetter got really technical, as I was asked system design questions...

Question 1
Tell me about a product you deployed. For the coding round, I received a LC medium.
4 loop interviews: 1st round system design, 2nd round behavioral round, 3rd round Bar raiser, 4th round coding round. Overall, the process was good. I wasn't very well prepared for system design round
