I applied via Approached by Company and was interviewed in Jan 2024. There was 1 interview round.

Round 1 - Coding Test 

It was a very simple coding test and the interviewer was focused on understanding the tradeoffs and time complexity analysis rather than the solution itself. And also asked a lot of questions of the hashmap internals, ArrayList implementation which was off track to what the interview was for.
