Candidate-reported interview process

It was an online interview with 2 interviewers, and it went for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. The interview was semi-formal, but honestly, the interviewers weren't very friendly. At some points, it felt a bit rude too.

First round was an aptitude test, second was technical, third was a group discussion, and the 4th was an HR round where they prioritize checking communication skills, resume writing, and discussing your projects.

It was pretty easy but took a while. They gave me an offer letter after two interviews over three months. Both were panel interviews where people cycled through. I met most of the PMs, and afterwards, one showed me where I'd work and who I'd be working with.
