Candidate-reported interview process
So there were like two coding rounds, a system design round, and then two behavioral rounds. It took about a month to a month and a half. Then after that, I was on hold because there were no new openings. Once they opened up, I had some team matching calls.
The interview process started with a recruiter screen where I received feedback. Following that, there was a Karat coding session where I had sufficient time to tackle a medium-difficulty coding problem. The subsequent two rounds involved challenging problems that required the use of data structures such as treemap and dequeue.
It started with a recruiter call and then a phone screen. After that, there were several rounds of interviews. These included coding interviews, system design problems, and some other behavioral and cultural fit rounds. My suggestion is to practice medium-level questions from LeetCode.
