Candidate-reported interview process
First, there was a HackerRank coding test with easy and medium questions. After that, I had a call with a team member where we discussed my experience and some behavioral stuff. The interviewer was a bit awkward. I didn't get much further after that.
Had a recruiter screen first, then an online technical round, followed by a personality round. I didn't get a perfect score on the technical but still moved on. They ended up hiring someone else though.
I did an online assessment with leetcode-style coding problems, then had a 30-minute on-call interview where we discussed my experience. I was told there would be three more technical interview steps after that, but I didn't get to them.
