The process included four distinct rounds: an HR check, a brainteaser round, a quant skill round (covering math, statistics, and coding skills), and an experience round. A specific brainteaser mentioned involved comparing 1000 sample products of identical appearance but different quality using a scale, asking for the minimum number of comparisons needed to determine relative quality. The entire process spanned 1-2 months, but the candidate did not receive an offer.
