Interview
I applied through career fair in my campus and I got the on-campus interview. I passed the on-campus interview and got the on-site interview. I went to the HQ and spent half day over there. It was a pretty amazing experience for me. The recruiters are very nice and very responsive to my email.
Given a 2D array, where there are 0s and 1s (1 representing island) count how many islands are there, for example, [[0,1,1], [1,0,0], [0,1,0]] there are 3 islands there (because in the first row 2 of 1s are connected so they created a bigger island.

Interview
First I was given a fairly simple hacker rank question to be completed in 20 minutes. Then the next step was to complete a 45 minute video interview over coderpad. The first time the call was scheduled, they sent me a faulty coderpad link, so I had to reschedule it. The second time the call was scheduled, my interviewer didn't show up. Overall I don't know what it is, but terrible interview experience that just wasted my time.

The hacker rank was a pretty easy string/json parsing question.
