HR takes time to return to you.
Interviewers are friendly, and rounds are spread across a few weeks.
Machine coding rounds are group-based, similar to a drive.
Even if you explain the logic and demonstrate that you know how to solve the problem, you are in a good position for the coding round.

Second round: Coding questions. Graph-based and DP-based.
