Candidate-reported interview process

It was pretty simple. They wanted to go over my resume, my previous experience, and what I could contribute. I had to answer some scenario-based questions to show how I'd handle different situations. Overall, it wasn't too difficult.

It was a nice experience to attend the interview, which was organised well. There were three rounds in total. The first round was virtual, the second round was in-person with the manager, and the third round was a BU round.

I applied through their careers site and heard back within a week. First, there was a virtual interview about my resume and experience, with some situation-based questions. Then, I had an in-person interview that included technical questions. Overall, it was a pretty good experience.
