Colloquio
Long Interview process over two months and suprisingly I learned that mine was the fastest.
Suggestion: Dont waste your time by interviewing.
Tl;DR
First is a technical screening hackerrank/codility test with one simple question on string permutations and a BFS graph question (application not direct)
Second was HR meeting where she introduced whole interview process
Third was techincal background check interview where interviewer tested concepts realted to databases and many case based questions realted to distributed systems
Next there was a loop interview with DSA and system design.
DSA interview there was quick 15 min resume based questions and then questions about python internals and memory management and a linkedlist question on approach after which there was a leetcode medium question on palindromes and was expected to write production ready code. They use codesignal
Then was system design interview about designing customer to merchant payment system design with some funtional requirements already specified. A Japanese guy interviewed and there was absolutely no feedback on whether he is fine with the design and things like that it felt like I was just talking something,
I got positive feedback from all the above rounds.
Then HR started talking about salary and I agreed to the range they requested,
Final was HR 15 min and Manager guy for 45 minutes.
Japanese guy with no english and a transaltor who was rarely used. This guy tried asking questions in his english and I answered well.
Finally they sent a rejection saying skill mismatch.
Super unprofessional dont waste your time interviewing this company. They are just timepassing with candidates and don't really care about the candidate's time. They take people for granted and don't really give any feedback. They told verbally that I cleared all the technical rounds and rejection was a one word reason called skill mismatch. I dont know what skills are they looking for ?

Questions about databases, strings and microservices
Don't waste your time! Like many other comments, the interviewer's English was very poor. Even though I answered all the questions, I was still rejected in the end. The email replies and interview scheduling were very slow. It felt like they didn't really want to hire and were just going through the process.

Interview process started with online coding assessment (4 problems, 70 mins). I would say it consists of 2 easy + 2 medium leetcode questions. You don't need to score perfectly to pass. If you pass, you will be invited to initial recruiter call to talk about your experience and role. Then goes into a series of elimination rounds: coding/LLD, system design, hiring manager(behavioral). If you pass all of them, they will invite you to offer meeting. The whole interview process takes about 2 months, but the process and steps are pretty clear. Overall it is a good experience.

So it all starts with code signal coding assesment which was leedcode med-high. After that recruiter call he/she will tell about company and hiring process.
Rounds:
Tech Round 1 Screening: I was asked to design my current aplication which iam working on went well.
Was invited for loop round which are 2 rounds and based on first they can cancel second.
Loop 1: Python related question, backend concurrency and distributed related questions and then there was one coding question not very tough. I was able to do, Interviewer seemed to satisfied and i was also positive that i will make this round.
Cut short just before 1 hour of loop 2 they cancelled and did not even tell why or what improvements i can do.

Don't waste time as much of feedbacks here they are just doing time pass with candidates nowadays.
