The process was as follows but I withdrew my application after the HR interview to accept another offer. 1. Screening — this was with the technical architect and I found it to be pretty grilling with very inquisitive questions about my experience and knowledge. 2. Technical interview with 2 other engineers — an interesting but challenging problem. It needs you to visualise the problem to consider the desired behaviour and edge cases. 3. HR interview — I was told they were considering 2 of us and they'll get back to me within a week 4. VP interview

The interview process was easy and smooth with a few basic questions. The HR part was also easy. There were 5 rounds in total. Some questions were about management, and some about analytics and reasoning. The people who interviewed me were good. It was very easy again. Overall, it was a good experience.

Three interviews in total. After the first one I had no response for almost 3 weeks. I had to remind the recruiter about my process. The whole process was erratic and badly planned. In one interview the interviewers didn't show up. I wasted my time.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Discuss data structures and how to enhance them.
