Multiple interview rounds. 2 technical then 1 manager and then the last round is hr round. Technical rounds are generally not very difficult. They will quiz on subjects like algorithms , dsa , operating system
I applied online. I interviewed at AppDynamics (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2020
Interview
Onsite 5 interviews 1 hours each.
1) System design - general application architecture (just a little bit of code).
2) System design - more focus on choosing right databases and writing DB queries (mostly SQL).
3) Lunch with the manager + talking about your experience and about the project in general.
4) Talk about your experience + a little bit of problem solving questions.
5) Single algorithmic / data stracture problem solving task + talking about testing of that task + talking about the project.

Question 1

Design highly loaded distributed system to search flight costs. Input: city from, city to. You need to consider that sometimes it is cheaper to fly from city A to city B and from city B to city C than flying directly from city A to city C.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AppDynamics in Aug 2021
Interview
Clear and cogent process, but it takes time.
Had a initial Hiring Manager round, then a standard coding round, then 4 onsite rounds.
Onsite round was a mix of problem solving, system design and API implementations.
Everyone was super friendly throughout and never made me nervous.
