Coding
It was a coding challenge where I couldn't look anything up. It was a proctored test, and I had to show my whole space around me on camera. The platform was old school and hard to debug my work on, making it unnecessarily difficult.

Technical Coding Behavioral
So first there's this filter round 1 with two SHL tests, basically checking logic and personality. Then there's filter round 2, a big exam on programming stuff, a leetcode medium problem from Automata, and REST principles. If you pass that, you go to round 1 with the department. This part varies, but usually it's 30 mins for behavioral questions and 30 mins for technical stuff. If they like you, you get invited to round 2 to meet the team, which is more of a vibe check. The whole thing takes about 3 months.
