There were two rounds of phone interviews. First one lasted for 45 min with basic technical questions. I got the result of first round on the same day. And the second round lasted for 3 hours with 3 people calling me every hour with 10 min breaks in between. Second round was also completely technical with three of them asking completely different questions.
