Process
I went through 6 rounds of interviews. It was a very slow process, taking 3 months. The positions kept changing throughout this period.
I was given an online test with lots of objective-type questions and two Java programming tasks.
The recruiter then scheduled a phone screen. Post that, I interviewed with 4 people, for a total of 6 rounds.
