OA :
2 Coding questions were and should be solved in 60 min. I don't remember the exact question.
1st was on bit manipulation (LC Easy).
2nd was Array based question on binary search (https://leetcode.com/problems/capacity-to-ship-packages-within-d-days/) similar to this.
I was able to solve both question.

Round 1 (1 hour over zoom video) :
This was a Case Study round 10 candidates were there.

Exactly 1 hour was given to us and 3 Questions was shared (2 DSA & 1 DBMS) and we were asked to write pseudo code (or working code) for any 2 questions.

I attempted 1 DSA and 1 DMBS question.
I was able to write the pseudo code for 1st.

1st question was this : https://leetcode.com/problems/largest-1-bordered-square/
In 2nd question (Design Sales Database class diagram) requirement was given I created the class diagram as per the mentioned requirements.

Round 2 (1 hour over zoom video) :

This was taken by the senior software engineer.
In this round I was asked to create some tables and specify primary and foreign keys.
After that on the same tables I was asked to write 5-6 queries, some of the queries were difficult and I was not able to write 2 of those.
Then some questions related to java : what are threads, types of threads, how to create threads in java, difference between interface and abstract class, functional interface etc
Still 15 mins were left so he then asked 1 DSA question: given a string compress it but I had to solve this in O(n) time and O(1) Space. Similar to this question (https://leetcode.com/problems/string-compression/)
I was able to solve the DSA question.

Round 3 (30 Mins over zoom video) :
This round was taken by the very senior person (Tech Lead) he asked me about my projects and in which technology I was comfortable in and feedback of previous rounds or was I challenged or not in previous rounds.
Then he asked if I was ok to work on .Net and Java and then some basic question why ZS and why are u switching etc.

I asked some questions, related to types of projects which they have and different tech stack available.

After 4-5 days I got a positive feedback from the HR.
