30 minutes phone call with the HR, followed by SQL tests to be completed within 72 hours. It has 3 SQL questions, 1 Riddle and 1 prerecorded video to describe the trend of the graph. Each section of the questions has time. The riddle was really random, based on the crossing bridge with a flashlight.

Interview experience was really good. Interviewers felt genuinely interested in hearing about my projects. Stepped away for a few minutes to allow me to focus on the technical problems without getting too nervous. Recruiter was amazing as well. Fast responses and great communication throughout the process - they fully accommodated for my situation and scheduling issues due to personal reasons.
