Received invite to second technical round a day after first round and then HM round a day after the second technical (all rounds about 2 weeks apart).

Round 1: HackerRank OA, 5 questions in 120 minutes
Round 2: Technical Interview
Round 3: Technical Interview
Round 4: Interview with Hiring Manager
Overall the interviewers were all very polite throughout the interview and helpful when answering questions, which seems to be out of the norm based on the other interviews listed on this site, though all my interviewers were US based, which may have made the difference.
