I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Zocdoc (Bengaluru) in Jul 2023
Interview
Initial communication with HR was good with timely schedule for technical discussion.
Technical discussion was more like to find out what can be taken back and applied at their end, rather than what was used in terms of distributed systems, tech stack used. This has become norm nowadays to interview less experienced professional for senior folks in initial rounds. I sense they are not in position to judge correctly.

Skype interview for 45 minutes, 1st in-person for 4 hours with 4 engineers and 2nd in-person for 1 hour with CTO. The skype and CTO interview are most challenging. Be prepared to get to the white board and write code. I got a lot of blank stares for using ansi sql and scala syntax. They are used to t-sql and whatever microsoft uses to write code
