Online test by Codility, with two questions and a limit of 1 hour. This is not like algorithm puzzles on LeetCode. I can use string manipulation and linked lists to solve them. There are more logic application-based questions.
Questions on graphs and other topics were covered over four rounds. It was not that hard, but DSA practice is needed to clear it. The design round was mostly based on my experience, so if you have done design work, you can do it easily.
