Interview was of total 3 rounds. 1st was screening with HR for 5 min. Asked basic questions related to JD for eg- do you know JS, php.

Next 2 rounds were panel interview with the whole team. Was asked questions on php and db. was asked to solve 2 sql queries on whiteboard. Then was give one coding question. Solved it in python.
Next and last round was with the same panel plus the product manager was also present. Was asked questions about agile env and difference between PO and PM.
Hiring manager asked behavioral questions.
I was offered the position but after 24 hrs they cancelled the position and the offer was rescinded.
Interview process was very standard though I'm not sure about this being a universal experience since there are a lot of separate teams in the company. The team I talked to was really nice.
