There was a recruiter screen, technical interview followed by 3 rounds of onsite interview. The technical interview included computer science fundamentals and leetcode. If you pass the technical interview, you advance into the 3 rounds of onsite interview which is tougher.

Interview
The process began with a first screening, which included a recruiter call and a coding screen. This was followed by an onsite interview loop consisting of five rounds: a standard coding round, a 'coding with AI' round, a hiring manager round, a system design (high-level design) round, and a technical interview focused on a project deep dive. Verdict: I did not get hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Coding: A LeetCode-style problem where you need to "flip K most ones" to get the maximum island (likely Max Consecutive Ones III), with a follow-up question asking how to handle it if the island is in a circular array.
System Design: Design a system to discard DDoS packets.
