Candidate-reported interview process

So there were 2 stages, the first was a Hirevue where I had 2 non-technical questions and 2 technical ones, plus a coding question. I got 4 tries and could prep as much as I wanted. After that, stage 2 was a Zoom meeting set up a few weeks later.

The interview process had 2 stages. It started with a Hirevue and then a 2hr long interview. They asked both behavioural and technical questions. The questions vary depending on the department. They are very understanding and the questions do get harder but you are not expected to answer everything correctly.

It was a Hirevue, with standard video questions, some Leetcode easy ish coding questions, and questions related to CPU architecture. Retakes are allowed but time was limited for the coding questions.
