The first round was aptitude and the second was technical. During the second round, it seemed like they were assessing my confidence and how I perform under pressure. They asked arithmetic questions and for a simple prime number coding task. The rest of the questions were from my resume.

Technical Coding Behavioral

So, to get the job, you gotta get through 3 steps. First, there's a test with some logic and coding stuff. Then, you have a technical interview where you gotta show off what you know and how you solve problems. Lastly, there's a manager interview to see if you'll vibe with the team and help with what they're trying to do.
