I applied through a recruiter, and the process took three weeks.

Don't get your hopes up! I interviewed for an SDE2 role in January 2021. The interviewers were friendly.

The process begins with a HackerEarth test. The recruiters don't know which questions to ask in screening, so they are very typical and hard questions, and it's all about luck whether you are able to clear the round.

• First round: This was DS/algo, and standard DS/algo questions were asked. The interviewer was friendly and knowledgeable.
• Second round: This is a design round. They ask their domain-specific design questions, e.g., how will you build a particular analytics platform, etc. The other question was to design an LRU cache and an LFU cache.
• Third round: This was said to be a cultural fitment round with the director, but it was purely technical. A similar design question that was asked in the second round was asked again.

After this, I was told that I had been selected for SDE1, which I was not expecting since I applied for an SDE2 role. Also, they couldn't meet my expectations with the offer, and they seemed too much disinterested in rolling out the offer. Expectations must be clearly set before the process.

The questions were about an LRU cache and an LFU cache.
