The first round is pure SQL coding which I went through 3 SQL questions over hackerrank. The difficulties is about at most medium.
The second round is based on my resume exp. Went through streaming processing and Kafka understanding. Followed by question how to optimized Kafka consuming lagging and data skewness issue in Spark. Then for the remaining 30 mins, went through a simple SQL question and a simple Python question (not even an algo question) and a system design question in shorts.
Not smooth, HR screening was smooth but later interviewed by keep asking somehting i wasn't really understand. Overall experience wans't good. Hope I meet other nicer recruiter next time. That's the reason I give a down thumb on this experience.

3 rounds in total. Every round will have deep dive on Resume, foundation questions, 2-3 Coding questions, BQ questions... Overall fair enough. Coding on their own platform. Might interview in Chinese sometimes.
First round of tech interview: 3 questions, 1 SQL hard, 1 SQL medium and 1 brain teaser. Interviewer asked to code in a notepad and insist my solution was wrong. As I couldn't run the code in IDE I couldn't prove my code was right. After my interview I ran my code and it is working perfectly well.
