The interview process was straight forward. Three round, first one was interview with team lead to talk about your experience and role. Second interview was coding that include react and algorithm a bit. The role was related to frontend so they ask about frontend concepts of react like hooks, state, performance. Last interview was with management. This was more a behavioural interview with alot of discussion about past project.

React concepts of hook, state and performance. Coding challenge was a real life problem with requires you to get information from API and alter the results using data structures.
It was good, They hiring manager responded well and was bit tricky, but easy to clear if you prepare accordingly to the job description. The process was very good and quick.
