OA -> Interview; Interview has a behavioral portion where you get classic STAR questions corresponding to certain LPs they are looking for. Coding question is leetcode easy / medium, neetcode 150 suffices.
3 hour interview - first round was behavioral and technical. For behavioral they asked about your resume and give you a time where you been challenged and how you overcame it. Technical part was merged intervals and LRU cache. Grind your leetcode
