Interview
I applied on the careers website in early October. I didn't hear anything until early January when I was given a 20 minute code debugging assessment and 30 minute logical reasoning test. The debugging was really easy. You just had to fix the mistake. The logical reasoning was alright. Not too bad but you have to be quick. Two days after I finished it, I was given a 70 minute coding assessment and 10 minute work style assessment. The coding assessment had 2 problems and was pretty simple. The work style assessment consisted of putting agree/disagree/etc. for statements. Three days after finishing that, I received my offer. I never had a phone interview or anything.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Interview
Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
