Interview
I applied online through their website and got a email back with a link to test which was only on java, but as I am a c++ programmer and have no experience with java I let them know and then they took about two weeks to reply then scheduled a telephonic interview with one of their programmers, it was a shared coding test. It was a easy question, but worst interview ever, the interviewer was really really bad, he was not interested in talking the interview, he was putting the call on mute over and over and I could hear him laughing and talking to someone. Why waste you own time and other person's time if you don't want to take an interview, say no in the first place.
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.
