3 stages The first round is with an RD. He asked about my CV for about 20 mins, then some classic OS questions. It ended with 1 medium LC question. The second round was mainly HR asking BQs. The last interviewer was the manager on the team. We talked about my experience for a few minutes, and then did a LC medium problem.

Coding Technical Behavioral
We had five 1-1 onsite interviews all in a row. It started with a quick self-intro in each. The first 3 rounds were mostly about technical stuff, including coding on a whiteboard. We covered algorithms and data structures, and I had to explain my thought process, make the code better, and talk about its efficiency. Then HR did a background check. The last round was with the manager, who talked about how the team is split up.

Technical Coding
The interviews were remote and they said there would be 3 stages maximum, but I only did 2 stages that day. Each stage started with me introducing myself and answering some basic questions about OS, OOP, and C++. The rest of the time was spent on a coding test, with problems that are often found on Leetcode.
