Candidate-reported interview process

So I had 3 interviews in total, all phone calls, no video. It started with a recruiter chat. Then I had a technical interview with the team. The final interview was with the team manager, and it wasn't technical.

Okay so the interview process had three rounds. First up was a technical MCQ test, then we had a group discussion (GD). The last round included both a technical interview and an HR interview. It's worth noting that 73 people made it past the first round, and out of those, 20 successfully cleared the GD.

A recruiter reached out, and I had an initial interview with two engineers. It seemed to go well. I followed up with the recruiter but haven't heard back yet.
