The interview process had 3 rounds. First was an online assessment which lasted 70 minutes and included 10 multiple-choice questions, plus one easy and one hard LeetCode problem. Then there was a technical interview focusing on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) that took 2 hours and involved solving 3 medium LeetCode problems. This was followed by a 1-hour System Design interview where I had to design Quest System. Finally, there was a 1-hour HR interview focusing on behavioral questions.

Behavioral Technical
After submitting the application, there's an aptitude test that needs to be finished before the HR contacts you for an interview. This was a 15-20 minute fireside chat/interview where the HR discusses the company structure/main pillars. They also go over the interview process if you're shortlisted, which includes 2 more technical interviews and 1 with the team lead. The HR didn't turn on their cameras during this session, and I've heard many capable people didn't pass this round. The overall experience was fine, but I was definitely intimidated by the negative reviews on Glassdoor.
