Interview
I applied online. There was a small exercise as part of the application, where you need to write a program to analyze a business problem and solve a few SQL questions. This is not difficult.
In 2 weeks I received an interview invitation. First round is "life story", which is like a behavioral interview. General behavioral questions would be expected. The interviewer was very nice and whole process was very conversational.

They also arrange a conversation with a squad lead so that management can get an idea of what that person is like under pressure.
