I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Boku (Mumbai) in July 2020
Interview
It had 4 rounds. Hackrank test comprising 2 questions on graph theory and knapsack algo. Next is round to code a command line application. Then a system design round followed by behavioral fitment round.
The interviewer had a very open mindset and was really flexible in terms of approach to solve design problems.

Question 1
Apart from technical questions, specific questions were asked on scenarios faced in current project, in-depth discussion on the current project, challenges faced etc
I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Boku (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2020
Interview
45-minute phone chat with a company recruiter, followed by a one-hour Zoom interview with an engineering team lead 2.5 weeks later. 3.5 weeks after that I endured a four-hour Zoom interview marathon with approximately nine people, including the engineering team lead (for the second time), other software engineers, a product manager, and the VP of engineering. As part of this interview marathon, I was told to prepare for a "deep dive" into a significant project I'd done in the past, so I prepared an eighteen-slide Powerpoint presentation.
I felt that all of these chats and interviews went quite well, but seven weeks after my first phone chat, I was rejected with a boilerplate "not an ideal fit" email. After jumping through all of Boku's hoops and submitting to nearly six hours of interviews, I felt I was entitled to a more detailed answer, so I politely requested feedback on what detracted from my candidacy, areas I could improve upon for future interviews, etc., but I was answered with silence.
Recommend steering clear of this company unless you enjoy having your time wasted. The job for which I interviewed is still posted on Glassdoor six weeks after they passed on me. They don't seem to know what they want.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Boku (New York, NY) in Aug 2019
Interview
Being a startup with just under 100 employees, the place is not dynamic enough to grow. That was my experience.
Interview process:
I was directly called for a f2f interview.
They gave me a problem statement.
Finding path in a graph from A-B node where cycle is ok but path should be less then 4 nodes.
I wrote the code using recursion on white board, it was perfect. Then he asked me using a stack. I explained that too.
Then they said they will give me a coding assignment.
It was a tax calculation task.
I gave them the assignment with structured code service layered architecture soughts.
It was producing right result.
The HR went dormant , no replies from her.
The consultant told me feedback is not that good. And he went dormant too.
