Interview
The phone interview took an hour on a Saturday and we have subsequently set up in-house interview the following week. There were 5 rounds of interviews, each with 1 to 2 interviewers. Most questions were focus on the technical know-hows and experience in solving design questions. The work culture appears to be very chaotic and unorganized. However, there seems to be room for the company to grow.

Interview
I was contacted by an in-house recruiter. After a short phone call with him, a phone screen was set up.
The phone screen took approximately 1 hour. I was only few questions (OOPs concept,C++), which I had to code in a shared Google doc. After I was finished, I had a chance to ask the other person questions.
