I applied via LinkedIn and was interviewed before Aug 2023. There was 1 interview round.
The first round is Hackerrank two algo and one UI test very easy, Second is Fundamentals of JS and React Native one must have a deep understanding of JS to do that I strongly suggest going through Akashay Saini's JS series It'll help and the Third is PS/DS asked some basic A&DS questions can be solved easily with little practice on Leetcode
I was interviewed before Dec 2020.

Tip 1 : Practice at least 250 Questions, Give yourself enough time for preparation. Cramming won't take you very far. In books, I really liked Elements of Programming Interviews.
Tip 2 : Make sure to brush up your basics - coding style, OOPs, Language features. They help in making an impression.
Tip 3 : Don't worry about solving the question in the interview. Learn to tackle any random problem with the best of your ability. More often than not, that'd be enough.
Tip 1 : Keep your resume clean - no graphics, no multiple fonts. Keep it one page.
Tip 2 : Don't go over board in mentioning skills, only mention the things you are truly confident about.

Merge the sorted halves
Find pairs of integers in a BST whose sum is equal to a given number.
Traverse the BST and store the values in a hash set.
For each node, check if (X - node.value) exists in the hash set.

An AVL tree is a self-balancing binary search tree where the heights of the left and right subtrees differ by at most one.
AVL tree is a binary search tree with additional balance factor for each node.
The balance factor is the difference between the heights of the left and right subtrees.
Insertion and deletion operations in AVL tree maintain the balance factor to ensure the tree remains balanced.
Rotations are performed ...

Repeat the process until the remaining number becomes 0.
Return the minimum number of squares required for the given number n.
