I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BrowserStack in Oct 2021
Interview
There was 7 rounds in total.
1. 30mins call with Hiring manager - tech discussion
2. 2hrs coding round
3. Another 2hrs coding round
4. 1hr call with an Engineer manager - tech discussion
5. General discussion with the CTO
6. Tech/People management related round with Director of Engineering
7. General discussion with HRBP
The whole process took about 3-4 weeks to complete. The recruiter (Calvin) organised it well and kept me updated at each phase.

Highly unprofessional recruiters and interview process. Recruiters dont know how and when to communicate. Haphazardness all around. Coming to the interviews, it seems they dont know what they want to evaluate in an interview. In every round, questions are flip-flop between management and tech and that too quite randomly!
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at BrowserStack
Interview
The recruiter contacted and set up the call but didn't contact me after that. It seems to me that the recruiter is very unprofessional and she is also showing too much attitude. Actively interviewing with big giants like Google and Facebook and these recruiters should learn from them.
