The interview process had 4 rounds: Technical L1, then a Client round, followed by the Delivery Head, and finally HR. They decided to have the Client Round at the very beginning instead of later with the Delivery Manager. The Technical Interviewers were quite nice and helpful, but the Client round wasn't the best experience. The interviewer seemed rushed, not giving enough time to set up an example and explain it properly, almost as if they were on a tight schedule.

Technical Behavioral

The interview experience was not great. The first stage was a technical interview where the interviewer just read questions from an Excel sheet and typed my answers into it, showing no interest in conversation. The second stage involved an onsite interviewer who asked the exact same questions from the first round, which was disappointing. Finally, there was a client interview with a senior onsite member who came across as quite judgmental and difficult.

The interview experience was positive. I went through two rounds of interviews: a technical round followed by a manager round. Unfortunately, I did not receive any further communication from the company after these stages. During the technical interview, I was asked about my knowledge of ETL, Unix, and basic SQL queries like join and cross join.
