Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process was pretty simple. The questions they asked were really direct, and the vibe during the interview was really welcoming. They also showed me around the office and pointed out all the areas where I'd be working.

it was all about resume ,behavioral questions, basic technical knowledge but nothing specific, what is js framework have you used for web app development ,oops concepts.

It was a pretty long interview process, took about three hours. The questions were split about 2/3rds technical/logical and 1/3rd behavioral. There was a written test involving logic and SQL puzzles, and also a whiteboard part. For SQL, you needed to know about inner and left-outer joins, basic aggregation like sum, and sub-queries.
