I applied through university. I interviewed at Pocket Gems
Interview
HR contacted me for a phone interview. This phone interview consisted of 3 questions and lasted approximately an hour: a string question, a brain teaser, and a graph question. I received an e-mail shortly after my phone interview to setup a 2nd. This one consisted of another 3 questions and also lasted around an hour: a string question, a graph question, and questions about how a hash table works. I didn't receive a 3rd phone interview or on-site interview request. Note: The phone interviews take as long as it takes you to solve the problems. Try to solve the problems as accurately and quickly as you can.

I received an email from an HR after participating in an online competition. The first round was an online coding interview with an engineer from their team. I did not go beyond the telephonic round.

Interview
OA with 2 medium problems & a code review, 1-hour 1st round technical interview followed by 3 consecutive 1-hour technical interviews.
The interviewers were all super nice. They were willing to work together towards a solution when I needed some subtle hints. They were very polite, engaged and eager to chat.
Got the offer pretty shortly after my last interview

I was given a Hackerrank to complete after a few weeks of waiting for a response. Just some common leetcode style questions in hackerranks. I didn't do so well though so received the rejection email a few days later.
