Behavioral Technical

So, the interview process had three rounds total, though if you count the online assessment, it's four. The first was a phone call where we mostly talked about my background and what kind of job I was looking for, plus some company info. Then there was a tech interview. Finally, I met with the hiring team.

The process involved a deep dive into my resume, focusing on Java core concepts. This included questions about SOLID principles and multi-threading. There was also one LeetCode question, a sliding window problem, and one SQL question, both of which were easy to medium difficulty. I had to write my answers in a text note.
