Technical Behavioral
There were 5 interviewers, and they seemed pretty serious. Nobody offered me water or a break during the interviews. The questions each person asked seemed well-prepared, and they took notes on my answers. Even though the questions were technically easy and the interviewers gave me positive feedback, I didn't hear back about any next steps. It was weird that neither HR nor the hiring manager responded to my emails asking about the status.

HR called me to set up an interview, and they sent a Zoom link via email. My interview was scheduled for 6 am. An engineer conducted an online exam. After the exam, I was interviewed by the HR Head, who asked a lot of questions, especially about the company's work-from-home setup.

Technical Behavioral
Had a phone interview first, and then an all-day on-site. Met with like 5-6 engineers, including managers and directors. They were all pretty nice and listened well, giving me some good tips and insights about the company. The on-site had some technical questions, but they weren't too tough, and everyone was really friendly.
