After I finished the hackerrank from CIMB, I got invited to a user interview with two people. Most questions were about software engineering fundamentals and technical stuff about the stack I used in my past experiences. At the end, they asked me to work on an easy DSA question about arrays.

Interviewed by 2 people: the hiring manager and the lead developer. They wanted detailed explanations and tested communication skills by challenging the candidate. Instead of specific Java questions, the focus was on explaining the entire system flow to assess skills based on the explanation.

Behavioral Other
The process started with a writing test where I had to pick one of the essay questions, which was non-technical and aimed to assess my writing skills. Following that, I completed a psychometric survey focusing on personality. Finally, I had an interview with two people where most of the questions were about my past work experience. It was a really pleasant experience.
