Coding
I had a virtual interview where I had to share my screen. I could use any text editor I wanted, like vi, Notepad, or MS Word, but I wasn't allowed to compile or test my code. There was no time limit. I was given two problems that were spoken aloud, not written down. Test cases were provided for the problems.

Technical Coding
The interview process started with a phone call from an HR recruiter. Then there were 4 skill tests done via Skype online programming with an unknown person. The sorting question could have been bubble sort or selection sort, I don't remember which one. Then there was a String Palindrome question, followed by a question about searching the number of certain words in a text, and finally a question related to cache or paging from a block of memory. It was expected to be completed in 1 to 1.5 hours. The interviewer was nice when they gave the question online, but it was obviously not technical. They normally give you a reply after a week of discussion in-house to decide if you will be invited for an onsite interview. I didn't go further with them because the pay wasn't that good after doing some research online.
