Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process involved a regular interview with case studies. The interviewer was a bit snobbish and not open to conversation. Overall, I had a negative experience with the hiring manager. If you have the skills, I'd suggest looking for another large company that values your abilities.

It was one round in-person, mostly behavioral. Juniors might get more technical questions. Two people interviewed me. Overall it was pretty smooth and straightforward.

Got two interviews, first with the hiring manager, then with some senior folks. After that, HR talked about salary. This was because I had a referral.
