Candidate-reported interview process
Interview with four directors and one with HR. With two of them I had also technical questions. And the other ones were more personality interview. The process was very fast and nice. They keep update me about my status.
So the interview process usually involves 3 rounds, like 2 technical and 1 HR one. But for this role, it was 4 rounds total, with 3 technical and 1 HR. One round was super tough, mostly core-based questions. The others were pretty basic and manageable.
I went through 3 rounds of interviews, including 2 technical interviews and one HR chat. The panel was very supportive, and the HR interview went well. Overall, it was a good experience.
