Process

Usually 3 rounds.

All technical.

Two coding and one design discussion.

Coding is focused on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving. More focus was on the approach and way of thinking rather than the final solution. Try to give multiple solutions to a problem.

Lastly, a hiring manager round, which is mostly a discussion about projects and some technical questions.

Questions

Basic algorithms and data structures on trees and linked lists.

Second was on designing a system, like an online food ordering system.
