2 round technical, second round was standard LC and went well (max-heap question to simulate a voting system). First round was low-level heavy (questions about dynamic casting, memory constraints and management, designing a hash function). I was told the interview would be DSA based and reached out to the recruiting team to inform them that my first round was not really fair, but they did not agree to a re-interview.

It was decent. had 3 rounds of interview. 2 technical one behavioural. Also a phone screening. The interviews were more difficult as you kept going. All happened online and I was allowed to use any language that i wanted
Did not get an invite for the 2nd interview. I was qualified for the role, but was ghosted for about 6 months before being rejected. But, the application process was nice, and gave me hope!
It was interesting to see the way that the team was able to make the candidates more comfortable. The process was fast and interesting in order to make the candidate feel more relaxed
