After all the necessary steps for online application, they'll review and start contacting shortlisted persons. Then a first round of phone interview was conducted. One day after the phone interview, I was informed that I could proceed to a 1:1. Then finally I went to the AC. It was a half day event and consists of 3 parts. A group activity, a competency based interview and a prioritizing interview. I heard that offers were given just 4 hours after the whole day session ended. Super efficient.
