Coding Technical Behavioral

It started with an online test that included coding, Q&A, and verbal ability sections. Then there was a technical interview covering DSA, SQL, DBMS, OS, OOPS, and computer networks. Finally, an HR interview asked about my passion and some conditional questions. It was a good interview.

chill, but be prepared to be asked some technical questions that can be out of the box. Interviewer is pretty nice and would share abt the job and what to expect.

Behavioral Technical Coding

The interview process had three stages in total. It started with a HR phone screen, which was pretty standard. Then there was a more technical phone call, followed by a 3-hour interview over Skype with multiple employees. For the most part, it was a good experience. Unfortunately, I really choked on the last round during a core technical question, and I knew it wasn't going to work out after that. Most of the people were very nice, though the people conducting the technical portion of the interview seemed pretty cold and uninterested. I also felt that a couple of their questions were a bit unclear, but overall nothing terrible.
