I appeared for an interview in January 2024 (wasn't well prepared in this one) , got rejected in qualifying round. Recruiter asked to keep preparing and she will approach again after 6 months.
Prepared consistently for 6 months and got a call in July again (I literally put in all my efforts- I could see an opportunity which was no less than a dream for me).

Timeline
Mid July: Recruiter call
19th August: Screen interview
some delay on their side
16th Sept to 30th Sept:Onsite interviews + Googlyness
Mid October: Onsite feedback - positive , will begin TM
Oct 16-17: First team match call
Oct 18-19: TM success
oct 24: Offer 🥳

Questions (Not exactly same)
Qualifying Round: Medium Level Question based on arrays
Practice Problem : https://leetcode.com/problems/flatten-2d-vector/description/

Onsite
Round 1: Medium question based on pure maths.

Round 2: Medium question followed by a hard follow up based on graph.
Based on BFS, follow up BFS along with some constructive algorithm
Practice Problem :
https://leetcode.com/problems/shortest-path-visiting-all-nodes/description/?envType=problem-list-v2&envId=graph

Round 3: Hard Bit Manipulation based question
Knowledge of bitmask, how to mark and unmark bits, get the value of i_th bit in any number is a must to be able to code this.

Couldn't find a similar problem but below problem is a good one to practise bit which involves extracting marked bits and using them for further processing in the problem.

Googlyness: Generic questions to test your working style, team collaboration,decision making.

Team Matching: Was asked to explain a complex use case I have worked on and some general questions.

Tips:
Guys, be patient and trust the process. Keep preparing and along with it enjoy life too!
This was my 4th attempt. Hard work never goes waste!! All the best!! :D
