Process
HR call, then HackerRank OA, and then the tech interview.
The OA comes quickly after you finish the call, as does the tech interview. Also, I found some of the posts here quite misleading.
Questions
The point that "they ask the same question every year" is misleading. I thought they would ask me the same in the tech interview. However, I was given a design problem, which I wasn't prepared for and blanked on. So, don't bet on that.
