Consisted of three rounds:

Resume walkthrough + LC easy - Loved this round, the interviewer was actually interested in my experience.
LC Medium - Real bad experience, the interviewer just gave me the question, wasn't even interested. I managed to pass 13/15 test cases.
Hiring manager - Standard behavioral questions, good experience!
