It was a 6-round process with 4 technical and 2 non-technical interviews. The first two rounds were online assessments, each with two medium-to-hard DSA questions to be solved in an hour. There was a significant delay after the first assessment, requiring multiple follow-ups to schedule the next stages. The subsequent round involved a Low-Level Design (LLD) task: implementing the Snake and Ladder game with working code, followed by an enhancement request, which went very well. Then came a High-Level Design (HLD) discussion about a Crypto Indexer, covering aspects like expected load, database selection, scalability, necessary components, and asynchronous processing. The final two rounds were non-technical elimination rounds: a Cultural Fit interview, which delved into past experiences and company vision, and a Hiring Manager interview, focusing on product scaling, past experience insights, and detailed role discussions.
