Process
The interview process involves approximately 5 rounds, including an Online Assessment (OA), Karat interview, Phone Interview, Onsite interviews, and a Hiring Manager (HM) round. It's a very long process.
Be prepared, but know that the interviews are overall very friendly and nice.
I recommend prepping thoroughly.
