The process took four days.
The entire interview process went smoothly and was very well organized. The interview was conducted on Saturday virtually over Zoom. The final round with a senior member was on a weekday. There was a total of four rounds, which included design, coding, and problem-solving. The panels were good, and their work and culture seemed good. It was my first interview after a long time, so now I think I was not well prepared. The HR was very friendly and polite. She guided me through the process and gave constructive feedback when I requested it post-interview.
