I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ClearTax (Bengaluru) in Oct 2020
Interview
There were 5 rounds. Design rounds were more like a discussion. The question was not asked for the sake of asking. They assessed thinking ability and how I approach the problem rather than testing a memorized approach.
1. DSA / Code review of assignment
2. System Design 1
3. System Design 2
4. HR

This took a week. A week after this I got the offer.

Interview
Pretty smooth and straightforward process.

Round 2 - Discussion on the solution from coding round. I struggled here but the interviewer was patient.
Round 3 - Data Structure/algorithms. Good questions.
Round 4 - High level system design
Round 5 - Low level system design
Round 6 - Hiring manager round. Gave a very through and detailed idea of their future plans and what the team is working on.
The engineers were good to talk to and get to know about the company, the hiring manager was very open and transparent throughout the entire process.
