Candidate-reported interview process
The whole process took about 2 months. The recruiter was quick to reply, and all the interviewers were friendly and worked well with me during the interviews. It included a standard HR call, two technical interviews, and a behavioral interview.
First, there was an HR call which was about 30 mins and very friendly. After that, I had a coding round on codeUtility (I think) for 1 hr. I messed it up and didn't get forwarded. It was about some charge analytics from a given charges list.
We had two live coding rounds. The first one was about algorithms and data structures, checking how well you solve problems and how efficient your solutions are. The second live coding round involved coding challenges and practical problem-solving. Then, there was a behavioral round to see your experience, how you work with others, and if you fit the culture.
