Interview
First round, a recruiter called me, asked some background questions, and also some tech questions. He said he would arranged a phone interview for me during our chat.
Second round is a tech phone screen. Since I told the recruiter I'm interested in front end jobs, so the tech guy is from front end team and asked some javascript, html, cookies and http questions.
After the first round, another recruiter contacted me again and said there would be one more phone screen. The third phone screen was also related to javascript and some other front end questions.

Interview
First I was given a fairly simple hacker rank question to be completed in 20 minutes. Then the next step was to complete a 45 minute video interview over coderpad. The first time the call was scheduled, they sent me a faulty coderpad link, so I had to reschedule it. The second time the call was scheduled, my interviewer didn't show up. Overall I don't know what it is, but terrible interview experience that just wasted my time.
