Had 3 interviews consisting of 2 LeetCode-style, one of them personalized to the team I was applying for. Debugging assessment of a series of issues or errors. General interview.
An initial online coding challenge (2 hours, Hackerrank). Then, an online interview discussing your answers to the coding challenge, your CV, and some logic puzzles. This is followed by multiple on-site interviews lasting about 5 hours, with breaks
After finishing the OT online, they invited me for an interview day, which included a 3-round interview. One was about coding, one about network knowledge, and another was like debugging a website.
