I applied via Company Website and was interviewed in May 2023. There were 3 interview rounds.

Round 1 - Resume Shortlist 
Pro Tip by AmbitionBox:
Keep your resume crisp and to the point. A recruiter looks at your resume for an average of 6 seconds, make sure to leave the best impression.

Round 2 - Assignment 

The process started on May 6, 2023 and lasted till June 19, 2023.

Initial was resume screening and I received an email asking for certain factors such as
1. Cover Letter.
2. Experience with MATLAB products.
3. Writing samples.
4. Salary expectation.
5. Familiarity with the domain.
6. Status of the current position.

Then there were some scheduled phone calls regarding the hiring process and the next round.
The hiring manager was polite and patient.
After shortlisting he quickly assigned a writing assignment which was not that difficult though for someone who belongs to similar domain.

Then there was a technical screening round where in there was one to one round with a senior developer and that went pretty quickly and not difficult again

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I would suggest not to waste too much time on their process which they would do.
Watch their interest during the marathon interviews. And yeah definitely trust your gut.
Your behaviour and body language in virtual interviews really don’t matter.
But voice your opinion don’t follow and obey for their silly tricks
