Interview
My interview was more on the Front end development side (Web development) After an Initial phone screen, where everything went pretty smooth, I was called onsite.
I had a total of 5 panels and the people who interviewed were pretty cool.
My first interview was with the Director of the team who asked me all non technical questions, this was more about knowing my background and my past experience.
In my second round I was interviewed by a UI designer who asked me questions related to the UI design principles. It was not much difficult and it was not a typical interview where people drill you with questions. I showed them my portfolio of what I did in my previous job and explained about them. Most of my time went in that, so there was not much time to have that question answer thing!
Later, I was interviewed by my manager, which was a proper interview ;) He asked me almost about everything... Right from backend till the frontend, but the questions were very basic and straight forward.
My final interview was with a Senior Software Engineer, who asked me Javascript and JQuery related questions.
Overall, the interview went pretty well and the people were pretty cool. You will not feel like you are getting drilled by gazillion of questions, it will be more of a conversation and discussion more than a Q&A round. So be confident, get your portfolios and be ready to explain everything from your resume!
All the best

Interview
They do not have a proper interview procedure.
They will conduct as many rounds as per their wish and ask you to attended.
And moreover they do not know this position is really required or not until last minute.
After clearing all the interviews, they will ask to share the required documents.
Finally you will receive a call from HR saying that the current position is on hold by the hiring manager.
This is the experience I faced recently.
