Had the Intial Call with Recruiter In Jan-2022 , conducted small meeting to explain the process. The process is as follows-

Telephonic Screening (45 min technical)
Three Virtual Onsite Rounds (45 min technical)
Final Virtual Onsite Round (45 min) googlyness.

As i was having offers and already on notice period, recuriter skipped the Telephonic Screening.

1. First Virtual Onsite (Feb 2022)- It Started with introduction, then started with problem it was kinda of puzzle on equation. The problem was pretty vague, had hard time unserstanding what will be the input and output.For the first 10 min i was implementing a different part of the problem which was not required , interviwer stopped me in the mid way and told me you are solving a different problem which was not required. Then i asked claryfing Question, understood the problem, then started coding again. Was able to solve the problem at last. interviwer was satisfied, Then asked Time Complexity, and Test cases.
Problem is not available anywhere and was based on Real World Problem
Learning-> Don't start coding , until u have understood the problem very well. Keep Patience and Don't Rush.
FeedBack No Hire: Stuck half of the time solving problem which was not required to solve

2. Second Virtual Onsite (Feb 2022)- Started with Introduction. Problem was on Binary Seach.
When i was reading the problem Description , i almost had the idea how to solve this, as i have already solved similar type of questions on Leet Code.(I was 50 % sure)
But I this Time I did't rushed, asked claryfying Question, went to the depth of the Problem. Now i was 100% Sure this binary Search Template can be applied. Wrote the Code , stated the complexity.
There was still 20 mins Left, Then Follow up Question was asked on the same problem.
Problem is not available anywhere and was based on Real World Problem

4. Fourth Virtual Onsite (Feb 2022) GooglyNess- : To be Honest, i was Really Scared for this round. But this was just a Cake Walk as Interviwer was really Friendly. I Talked with my heart open.

** [UPD]***3. Third Virtual Onsite (Feb 2022)- : Given a Set of Command in form a String , Needed to write a function to check of Command String is valid.
I was all over the palce, Pure Implementation Question. There were so many checks that need to be checked , Wasn't able to complete the question. Probably a No Hire In this Round.
