I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hotstar (Gurgaon, Haryana)
The interview process slightly over a month and constituted 6 rounds, DS, LLD, HLD, Hiring Manager, Bar Raiser and finally an HR round. The questions asked were pretty good and almost all had some design related question.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Bangalore
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Hotstar (Bangalore) in May 2022
There were 2 rounds, one was called Design and second was Coding. The interviewer in the first round told me that this is a new position and they haven't streamlined the process yet. He was a developer with 4 years of experience which is quite less that mine, but nonetheless his vocabulary was really poor no offence, which reflects poorly on the Hotstar being the company that it is. The second round was by a Manager who I thought was looking down at my experience which is really not a good thing to do with any candidate. They really need to improve a lot on the culture and environment they have at least in their India office.
