hr called and set up an interview loop day, the day consisted 3 interview each is 90 minutes, first two are leetcode medium, which put emphasis on clean code in a live coding environment. the third was with the department manager and it was a behavioural test
very chill, two rounds technical interview, normal LC easy/med plus behavioral.. post interview did not hear back for two weeks but then heard the good news. everyone was nice and supportive in the process.
There are 3 back to back interviews, each last for 45 minutes. Each interview asked one behavior question and one technical question. Overall, I think the interview process was pretty standard.
