1st step: 1 hour Phone screen by Recruiter
2nd step: 1st round Case Interview on skype with Manager level staff. Very simple case for anyone with any experience of case interviews.
3rd step: Recruiter called to schedule final rounds in-person interviews. However after a few days, they ended up not scheduling the in-person interviews as the flights prices from my town to the Bay area seemed “expensive” to them.
After a few days, I got scheduled for another skype interview with one Senior Director for behavioral interviews with the hope that they would call me for a final round of in-person interviews on a later date if they don’t get a suitable candidate among the pool of candidates for whom the flight tickets were cheaper!
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente
Interview
Screening with HR, then Hiring Manager Interview, Interview Panel with four members of the US team. There was a hostile atmosphere in the panel, as if they don't want to hire you because their job could be ripped off (US Operations are being moved to offshore locations like India or Costa Rica). You could feel malicious intention with some of the questions made, as if the panel wanted you to fail on purpose.

Solve LeetCode Hard #30, Substring with Concatenation of All Words
A couple rounds with members of the team, very straightforward conversations to get to know me and the work that I do well. I felt very comfortable sharing my experience.
The HR team was prompt and professional in scheduling and coordinating the interviews. They provided clear instructions and timely updates throughout the process, which helped alleviate any anxiety or uncertainty.
