Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
Interview process consisted of two one hour long phone interviews. The first one for me was very dry and impersonal and consisted mostly of tech knowledge questions. The second was a little more personal and was focused more on situational questions. I was then offered to have an on site interview. This lasted almost 5 hours and included five 45 minute sessions with different members of management team. All situational questions including a lot of repeated questions from team members. I'm generally not one who likes to talk about myself so this process was grueling.

Interview process was quite long. The fact that their recruitment didn't read through salary expectations is a very big flaw in dragging people along for the process. I went through 3 rounds of interviews, each round they had asked what my expected salary was.
