I applied on the careers portal, and the recruiter reached out via email. Scheduled the first technical screen for a week, which lasted 15 minutes.
We started with basic introduction first and then there were 3 Java questions which the interviewer had prepared for me to go ahead with.
I answered most of them, covering the breadth and depth of the cases that were asked more in the questions section.
