Got referral from LinkedIn following which HR called me. Also all rounds were elimation rounds.

Round 1 : HR Screening
Lasted for around 20 minutes discussing about my profile, CTC expectations and already stating that they will not give you a lot of hike. But i went ahead with it.

Round 2 : Hiring Manager
Discussion related to my resume, work experience, projects, culture fit and if i am genuinely interested or not. Basically you can consider it as a fitment and candidate knowledge check round.

Round 3 : DS

  1. Leetcode medium related to stacks and paranthesis. (refer the set of paranthesis based questions)
  2. One follow up question on above question.

Round 4 : DS

  1. Leetcode medium based on maximum length given a condition type of questions (using two pointer/ sliding window).
  2. Leetcode medium of One of Buy and sell stocks variations.

Round 5 : DS

  1. https://leetcode.com/problems/merge-sorted-array/description/
  2. https://leetcode.com/problems/search-in-rotated-sorted-array/description/

Round 6 : Machine Coding
I got a full setup guide before interview, and the interview was very extensive based on reading data, then applying queries on that data. Queries were to be coded in the form of APIs. So it was an overall read json, create data object models, classes, and then proceed with API creation as well. I was able to produce the entire flow for one of the 2 APIs needed, and postman and everything worked well. For second API since time was less, we discussed how it will be added and where.

Round 7 : Top Grading Round
This was the last round and I was pretty confident that after clearing 6 rounds i will make it. But it felt like the interviewer merely wanted to note out any red flag if possible in me and then rejected me. I did not expect this as my round went great, we discussed about projects, my team, and there were a lot of "tell me about a time when.." based questions.

Probably the worst experience as I contacted and mailed both the HRs repeatedly to give me proper feedback but they did not. Just sent a rejection mail.
