Entrevista
After applying, I got invited to a video interview, where you record yourself answering various behavioral questions and a few hardware-related ones, with unlimited retakes. Ignoring the awkwardness of the setting that eventually went away, the service providing the video interview was extremely buggy; among other things, playbacks of my recordings were showing a frozen image even though the live feed while recording was fine. At a certain point, I was also given a fairly simple coding exercise involving bit manipulation. Got ghosted afterward.

CV Screen -> Hirevue -> 2 hour Final Interview -> Offer
All interviews are partially technical and partially behavioural. Technical parts focused on low-level optimisations, leetcode style questions, and system design. The behavioural part mostly focuses on experiences on the CV.

There was first HireView round then coding test round and the then I was offered a final interview. The Final interview was very weird for me but as a good match to the job the interview went smooth. The interviewer was very polite and then we went ahead and did bug solving in C++. Some question I answered were promptly but there was one which I didn't know and I got stuck. It was about if you use a new word in C++ to make a variable and assign it a memory location what can go wrong in this. I said we might be out of memory and compiler wont be able to assign a variable space in this context. The interviewer didn't seem satisfied with my answer, and we were stuck on this for 5 mins. At the end interviewer said that you should not use new for this type of situation (that wasn't the question) but ok fair enough but the question wasn't communicated properly and in the end the interviewer just said something which didn't make sense. Other than that the interview was pretty good for me and even though we were stuck at this one question for 5 mins everything else other than this awkward interaction was pretty good.
