Interview
The interview process begins with a phone interview that lasts roughly about 30 minutes. During this interview, you'll be asked technical questions as well as give an example of solving a problem. At this point, if the interview goes well, you will be invited on-site for a second interview. Make sure you block off roughly about three hours for this interview. During the process you will meet with several members of the development team over that time period, either one or two at a time. They will ask you questions customized to where you have communicated where you strengths are. After that, they communicated that the different interviewers will give their feedback and if you are a good fit, they will proceed.

Interview
Recruiter reached out to me in Linkedin and scheduled a phone interview
Phone interview went smooth, there was a coding problem given in Coderpad which was not hard.. the coding question was simple, given two objects and join it to form an array of objects. I liked it since it was not a tough algorithm based question some companies have
Next was 2.5 hours of interview with multiple people in company
There were some hypothetical questions in one round like - what do you do when there is negative feedback about your code, etc
Another round was design based - Design an application based on a given requirement .. what tech stack do you use and why? what do you do when so and so problem comes up
Some questions about Microservices, some about Unit testing
Another round was more like chit chat, how do you work in an agile environment, what are the deadlines etc.
I got the job, the decision was made in a day but they offered a mid level position and I was expecting a senior level position so I declined it.
