There were 5 rounds which includes 1 Technical Assessment + 2 Technical Interview + 1 Techno Managerial round + 1 HR round.
The interview process were very streamlined and structured.
They care about your skills, rather than your background. They have a template which they provide and you got to fill that, everyone is provided a unique number. You are instructed not to disclose any of your personal details in the due course of your interview.
The interview process was two rounds. The first round was a behavioral interview. Straightforward questions, like tell me about the most technically challenging project you have worked on. The second round was a system design interview.
