Process
I applied through a referral, and the process took 2 weeks.
The first round was a written test on HackerRank, followed by Technical Round 1, then a System Design round, and finally the Hiring Manager round.
The DS and Algo round had 2 medium-level questions.
In the System Design round, I was asked to design a food ordering system.
In the Hiring Manager round, there were many behavioral questions, plus some questions on cache, databases, etc.
