I applied through one of the openings from linkedin. I gave the hackerrank test around June end. Then got the response after more than a month from a recruiter. She asked me for some details. It was a one hour long technical round. The interviewer was one of the finest interviewer I have I faced. She was polite and elaborated a few terms I know the meaning of but was not able to get from the abbreviations. She touched a lot of various topics and she was not looking for typical bookish answers. The answers I gave based on my hands on experience were enough for her. In the end she gave a perfect summary of what she felt were my strengths and weaknesses. In the evening I got a call from the consultant and she wanted to schedule the PDM round in 10 minutes. I was free so I agreed. Although after waiting for 20 minutes after joining the call, she said the panel is busy and would like to reschedule fore the next day. Next day was saturday and an interview was schedule in the afternoon. It was made clear that he wanted to discuss the salary and input my details to an internal portal. Although he did ask me a couple of technical question, details about my current project and rest of the things were salary negotiation and location etc. This happened today and I hoping to receive the offer letter in coming days.

I was asked to submit two coding challenges to be completed in 45 minutes. I solved the first one with 9 out of 15 test cases, and ran out of time to tackle remaining test cases. I had barley 2 minutes to read second challenge and the challenges were auto submitted. After 10 days, still waiting for offer and response.
