The interview process involved four rounds, mostly consisting of LeetCode-style questions that were fairly simple. I really enjoyed the process, but I didn't accept the role this time. I might consider it in the future.

Behavioral Technical
It was a campus placement. I had one phone interview. Got an offer in 7 days. Background check took one month. The recruiter was very friendly and polite. They asked about my past experience and described the job position and expectations. Asked about simple Java and database questions. I had a positive job interview experience and heard back in a week. They were very fast in responding and professional. Got the official offer letter after 20 days.
