Applied in July and went through a 3 stage process:
1st stage - 20min call with a recruiter - basic OOP and Data structure questions
2nd stage - 1 hr phone interview - 3 leadership principle questions, followed by a technical coding question (two if you finish the first one quickly)
3rd stage - 3-hour interview - 3x 1hr back to back interviews similar to the phone screen except the 1st interview is with a hiring manager and no technical questions

I had a first phone screen, which was an hour long, had 15 minutes of Hr questions based on Leadership Principles, then 45 minutes of real-time coding problems, You need to know a bit much about DSA to be able to pass the coding challenges, you must think out loud.

Pregunta 1
What is the difference between a binary tree and a binary search tree?
They asked basic questions about technical stuff, then another purely technical round where I was given one main coding problem, followed by 4 follow-up questions/variations based on the initial problem.
First stage was the OA and workstyles assessment. After getting through it I faced the phone screen interview and I didn't get through it. The coding question was a pretty standard product categorisation coding problem
