First its an easy to mid level coding assessment then if you pass you will get a phone interview which is all basic behavioral. Then you get invited to take the final interview. First they gave a case study which wasn't bad, you get 20-30 min to prepare. You then have to take a normal behavioral interview and then a technical which is mainly core Java and fundamentals. I heard back 3 to 4 days after the interview.
