Candidate-reported interview process

Had a technical interview where I was asked object-oriented Leetcode style questions. I had to solve at least 1 question in 30 mins, but they were easy so I solved 3. The interview was with two software developers and they were pretty chill.

It was a 3 round interview process. The first round was a technical screen handled by a third party. Then there was another technical round with the organization's people, followed by an HR round. If you know your tech stack well, you should be good.

There were three interviewers, they were very thorough and asked about Java base concepts and had a sample question to work through with the interviewers. I had no issue with the baseline Java questions but the last prompt confused me. The interviewers also made it a point to not contribute.
