Recrutier reached out to me via phone call and then rounds were scheduled.

Round 1 : Machine coding round
Experience : Hackkerrank problem based on OOPS concept, needed to write a lot of code and everything was expected to be working and passing all test cases.
Design order management system
needed to design cart functionalities, calculating total cart value, etc,
working code was expected, needed to pass all 13/13 test cases to proceed further,
interviewer was chilled out but still you always need to think out loud.

Round 2 : Low Level Design (APIs | DB Schema | DTOs | Follow ups) were expected
Experience :
Parking Lot Design
interviewer was not at all open for extensibility of the design, he just focussed on
getting the requirements done (too strictly, ideally interviewer should be open
for that)
anyways managed to satisfy his expectations:
class structures attributes and methods
API specs with request/response models
DB schema with follow up questions based on foreign keys, sharding keys, indexing
then he wanted me to tell the flow of APIs verbally

Got selected in this round, HR moved to HM round

Round 3 : Hiring Manager round
Experience : 30 mins discussion with a senior manager asked about my current project and some discussion around it.
then closed the interview with some basic behvaioural questions

Then later had a HR round post that offer was discussed, HR was too strict about the joining date.
