There was a coding round based on javascript and web development concepts followed by a technical interview of around 90 mins followed by a cultural fit round of around 20 mins.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UserIQ
Interview
The process included an online MCQ test for about 30 minutes followed by two F2F interviews(45 mins each). Both interviews were conducted by the same person and I noticed a few red flags while interviewing like saying "you should only be thinking about programming 24*7", "you should be okay with working for 12-14hrs per day", "I want you all to come to Bangalore and work so that I can monitor you and we are more productive" mind you, this was when Covid 3rd wave was nearing its peak. I got in touch with a former employee and I was told that the person who took the interviews is the engineering manager and he tends to micromanage people and isn't very receptive to diverse opinions.
After I got the offer, I told the HR that I would need a couple of days to think about the offer, she goes on to hire another candidate and when I expressed my interest in joining them, at first she gave a lame excuse and then goes on to ignoring my tests/calls/emails.
I would suggest to avoid this company if you have other offers.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The Interviewer mostly grilled on the resume and asked a little bit of MySQL
Asked a lot of behavioral and situational questions
I applied online. I interviewed at UserIQ (Atlanta, GA) in Jul 2020
Interview
I interviewed with this company in July 2020, and the interview process went very well. I met with the VP, who was fantastic. I know I made a great impression with him and his immediate team.
After my call with the CEO, the great vibe and fantastic previous interviews went downhill. The VP went dark on me for a few days, but he finally reached out to me via phone, which I appreciated, to inform me that they went with another candidate. He said that they thought I was a fantastic candidate and could see me in another role at their company, working with C-Level executives in a. more Enterprise role.
The moral of the story is, I didn't get the job based on my experience as I know it based on reasons outside of my control. Unfortunately, in today's job search, hiring leaders need to stop discriminating based on race; this would've been an excellent opportunity for both of us.
Making hiring decisions is one of the toughest choices in business. There were a ton of extremely talented candidates for this role, yourself included. However, to have any candidate make a leap of logic and equate this decision down to race is unfortunate. For what it's worth, we ended up hiring a minority for this role and have hired minorities for other roles since. We value diversity of all types and wish you the best of luck in your career.
