Giving an example of a high level architecture desing
I applied via upgrad. They mentioned the open is for data engineer and then made us apply on junior data engineer role. The first round was online test which I cleared. The next rounds were offline at their office. It was like a recruitment drive with multiple people at the same time and same day. After a couple of days we were informed that hiring had been freezed for this position and they will resume next quarter. Sheer waste of time.

Great, took only one month and was very similar to other big techs like Meta. Phone call with recruiter, live coding, design system and behavioral interview, each step within a week. Recruiters very very supportive and in touch, sent a lot of materials to study and gave detailed feedback.
