Interview process

DSA is the key. Learning problems will not help but understanding them will. I had 2 rounds online (1 technical, 1 behavioral) and 2 technical rounds onsite. Each technical round had 2 questions and one has to do well in every round. I did well on the online rounds and got stuck on 1 question in one of the onsite round. Ultimately, I took more than expected time for 1 question in my last round which I could have done better.
