Initial HR round, a skills test then. The people who called spoke really well.
Skills test consists of 20 multiple choice questions. The questions are based on a pseudo language with instructions on how to understand the language are given.
Then a 5 question test with importance given to accuracy and speed.
Perguntas de entrevista [5]
Pergunta 1
Find the largest even and smallest odd in the stream of numbers entered by user. Stop accepting the numbers when the user enters 0.
The same glitch question. Its a robot which follows the pattern of x steps forward, x+1 backward and 2x steps forward and x+2 backward and so on till 100 steps and then reverses its direction. Ask the use inputs x and y, x being initial steps forward and y being no. of steps. Calculate the distance from initial position.
The question was vague to me but I believed that 100 steps => 100 times that pattern is followed and then it reverses the pattern.
Find all good numbers less than the entered number. 138 is good because(1<3<8) where as 624 is not good because (6>2<4) nor 642 is good. It should follow the less than pattern.
On a cellphone keypad, 0,1 has no characters, 2=ABC2, 3=DEF3 and so on. So, the entered number should be converted to text. If for example 22 gives out B, 2222 gives out 2 and 22222 gives out A. '#' sign denotes end of a character. Example: 222#22#222222 = 'CBB'. Also if another number is started new series is started. Example 2222333456622 = '2FGJNB'. Write a program to print this.

Medium level leetcode and then a very basic system design question as a final round interview. Overall, smooth and simple process. Only one technical and it was the first one.
Perguntas de entrevista [1]
Pergunta 1
How would you design a system to minimize wait time at a health care center?
First round is a thirty minute phone call with one of their developers. The other part of the first round is a three hour exam with IQ test style logic questions and coding questions.
[OA] OA was fair. Programming part are leetcode easy and easy-mediums, straightforward simulation, backtracking, dfs, strings, etc. No DP/graphs but ymmv.
[Final interview] (Case Study) I think the interviewer came up with their own prompt. It's mostly discussion-based, with a virtual white board. It's not too technical. I'm guessing its testing your communication/logical reasoning than system design skills. (Pair programming) 1 question, same format as the OA on the same platform, leetcode easy.
[Overall] Technical difficulty isn't bad. Interviewers who are current software devs seemed friendly. Had a good experience, yet got rejected.
