They started with an online coding test. Then there was a 30-minute face-to-face with an engineer covering Linux commands, OOPS, and networking basics. After that, there were four hours of interviews: a phone interview with an engineer and manager, a face-to-face with the manager, a face-to-face with a higher-level manager, a face-to-face with HR, and another face-to-face with engineers. After a month's wait, they told me they wanted someone with 5 years of experience, which I found frustrating since they knew I didn't have that much.
