Technical Behavioral
I had 3 rounds for the interview. The first round was an online test that included logical reasoning and psychometric questions. The second round was a technical interview where they asked about my work experience and projects, plus some C++ and RTOS concepts. The third round was an HR round, and they asked the typical questions like why I want to join the company, why I'm leaving my current job, and how I'd handle conflicts with coworkers.

Technical Coding
It all started with couple of people in the panel for technical interview. They asked some basic questions in general about certain concepts and all was fine. At the end of the interview they asked me to implement a basic sorting algo. I took 3 min and got the logic done and i was not getting the desired output. Then without giving me any time, This guy said i am not giving you the offer. And kept on murmuring stuff.

It started with a phone interview, and then we moved to an on-site technical interview. Both parts felt pretty easy and pleasant. In total, there were four interviewers: one HR manager and three members from the IT team.
