Interview
The interview process is pretty straight forward. 1 or 2 Telephonic rounds. Here majorly the candidate's problem solving and coding skills are tested. If the interviewer feels there is a concern in these areas, most probably the candidate will not make it to the next round.
After that there will be an in house interview with 4-5 rounds, mainly concentrating on coding, problem solving, computer science fundamentals, Data structures & algorithms, culture fit.
Here the most important aspect is Data Structures & algorithms, problem solving and coding. If anywhere there is a concern the loop will be cut in between.
