The HR called me and explained the role, the interview process, and the types of questions that could be asked in each round. **Interview 1 – Technical Deep Dive** This round mainly focused on my current project work. It also included situational and behavioral questions around how I handled certain scenarios, managed responsibilities, and approached problem-solving in real work situations. **Interview 2 – System Design** In this round, I was asked to design a Play and Pause service for Crunchyroll. The discussion later expanded into its non-functional requirements, scalability considerations, reliability, and other system design aspects. **Interview 3 – Cross-Functional Round** This round was primarily scenario-based. Questions revolved around how I achieved outcomes in challenging situations, handled priorities and availability, and managed disagreements or collaboration challenges in my current role.

Had an initial phone screen with the recruiter. It went well and was given a coding interview. However, the recruiter never responded to any follow-up questions and, post interview, I haven't heard back from anyone.
