Entrevista
1. Online Exam:
There are 5 problems and it's up to you on what programming language you're going to use. You should be done with the exam in 90 minutes and you'll be using Hackerrank. One of the problems is querying using SQL.
2. Phone interview
This is an initial assessment done with the HR. They will also check your LinkedIn profile.
3. Final Interview
This is a 3-hour interview wherein the first 2 are technical and the last one is mostly just based on your resume and knowing more about you. In the first interview, there's a total of 5 questions though you may not answer all of it depending on whether there is still time left. You will be asked to explain in detail how you were able to come up with the code, what error you may encounter with the approach you've taken, and in what way can you improve the solution you've provided. In addition, you can still choose the programming language you would like to use. These are typical exercises that you may encounter if you have tried doing some exercises, but they need would need the best solution. For the second interview, there is only 1 problem that you will be asked to solve. After presenting your solution, you will be asked to give an optimized version of this. You will be needing the concepts in algorithm to do this. There's nothing much to prepare for the last interview, you just need to be answer honestly.
4. Result:
I was told at the end of the interview that the HR will contact me and inform me of whether I passed or failed the final interview in the following week. However, I was not able to receive any email. You may or may not be informed of the result of your final interview.
Overall, it was a positive experience and worth trying for. The HR replies fast and is very comfortable to talk to. Review on design patterns and algorithms.

It was a very casual interview. I was told the interview would start at 8:45 AM but it started around 10 AM. The interviewer was very friendly and walked me through my thought process towards solving the given problem. There were two rounds of interviews, purely technical though I did not get shortlisted for the second round.
