Candidate-reported interview process

The interview had 4 rounds. First, a phone screen with HR to check YOE and tech stack. Then, a technical interview covering past projects, coding, and problem-solving methods. Next, a managerial round for behavioral and situational assessment, plus long-term goals. Finally, an HR round for benefits, pay, and daily work.

I had a technical interview where they asked me programming questions in C++. The interviewer was nice and asked some general stuff about me too. It was a good experience overall, but I didn't get an offer in the end.

I applied on Linkedin and the location is Bengaluru. The first round was with the India Team, a technical round. The second round was with the US Team, also technical. The third round was with the VP India, a non-technical round, and I got the offer a few hours later.
