I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Expedia Group in Sep 2023
Interview
The recruiter reached out to me and and sent a screening test which contained 3 medium - hard hackerrank questions. After I passed them I was invited for the final 4 rounds of interviews back to back with 15 mins break in between. I found that exhausting at the end. The interviewers were were nice , although the systems design interview I found was little vague! If you practice leetcode thoroughly you can crack it!

Interview
Round 1 :
Hackerrank Test with 2 easy-medium DSA questions.
Round 2 :
DSA Round - 2 medium DSA questions
Round 3 :
DSA Round - 2 medium DSA questions
Round 4 :
Hiring Manager Round where discussion was all around projects in resume, current company work-related situations etc.
Round 5 :
LLD round where LRU Cache question was asked and here, it wasn't expected to just solve it like we do on Leetcode, but to think about all the aspects of the design like concurrency, scale, resilience, idempotency etc.
I got rejected at the end, but a good thing was that HR provided the feedback over call itself, unlike most of the companies who don't even send a rejection mail.
The whole process took 3-4 weeks and consisted of 3 rounds. Recruiters were very transparent and easy to work with.
1st round was a standard phone screen with a recruiter.
2nd round was a 30 min call with the hiring manager.
3rd (final) round included behavioral, system design, and a frontend/React coding exercise - this was more of a frontend role, so no Leetcode/DSA
