First, there was an online assessment which was MCQ based and done on Google Forms. Then we had a GD to check if I could communicate well with employees. After that, there were two technical rounds. The first one covered data structures, bit manipulation, and computer networks. The second technical round was about operating systems. Finally, there was an HR round.

So after you apply, there's a recruiter call first. If that goes well, you'll probably have some interviews with the hiring manager or people on the team. They'll likely ask about your technical skills, how you solve problems, and maybe some behavioral stuff too. For some jobs, they might give you extra tests or coding challenges. Then, you might have final interviews with higher-ups. Definitely look up the specific role and get ready for tech and behavioral questions.

Behavioral Technical Coding
The interview was mostly behavioral, with four other people: two interns and two full-time employees. They asked standard interview questions. The interview lasted about 30 minutes. The two full-time employees didn't have technical knowledge. The two interns asked some easy technical questions. Many questions were about my resume.
