I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AppDynamics
Interview
Fairly straightforward. Recruiter contacted me about an opening. There was an initial call with the recruiter to discuss about the opening, the team and the company and a follow up technical coding interview with the hiring manager. The scheduling was smooth, and the recruiter was graceful enough to reschedule the interview when things changed on my side.

Question 1
I'm not writing down the question verbatim since that is really unfair to the interviewer and the company. A coding question related to graphs. I really liked the question. It was difficult, and unless you implement graph traversals on a daily basis, this question will be difficult. I think given the problem and an hour to 90 minutes of quiet time, I could have implemented this since the last time I implemented graph traversal was about a year ago. Make sure you practice your graph traversals.
The interviewer was really nice. Although, having checked their profiles on LinkedIn, they are overly proud of having a few PhDs in their group. :-)
Multiple interview rounds. 2 technical then 1 manager and then the last round is hr round. Technical rounds are generally not very difficult. They will quiz on subjects like algorithms , dsa , operating system
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at AppDynamics (Bengaluru) in Oct 2021
Interview
5 rounds of interviews, experienced people, medium level difficulty, 4 coding round + 1 hr round

Question 1
Mostly lc type dsa related problems, little twisted
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AppDynamics in Aug 2021
Interview
Clear and cogent process, but it takes time.
Had a initial Hiring Manager round, then a standard coding round, then 4 onsite rounds.
Onsite round was a mix of problem solving, system design and API implementations.
Everyone was super friendly throughout and never made me nervous.
