First, your application/resume gets screened to check for skills and experience. Then, a recruiter will call you for about 20-30 minutes to go over basics like your background, interest, salary ideas, and logistics. After that, you’ll have a technical phone/video screen for 45-60 minutes, usually involving coding problems on a shared platform, maybe some system design or past project questions. Some places might give you a take-home challenge (2-4 hours) to write, test, and document code. Then comes the on-site (or virtual on-site) loop with 3-5 interviews (45-60 mins each) covering coding, system design, past projects, behavioral questions ('Tell me about a time when...'), and culture fit. Interviewers then share feedback, and a hiring committee reviews everything. If it all looks good, the recruiter will extend an offer, and you can negotiate terms. Finally, after you accept, onboarding paperwork and first-day details will be sent.

Technical Behavioral

The interview may sound like a lot, but overall, it is not too bad as everyone is super friendly!! First, you’ll speak with a manager who will explain the job scope and responsibilities. They’ll also ask a few basic questions, such as your career goals. If this goes well, you’ll move on to the technical interview. This round includes four questions—two focused on Java and two on SQL. Next, the PM will assess your technical knowledge through questions and determine if you're a good fit for the role. If they are satisfied, you’ll move forward in the process. The final round the HR will ask you some behavior questions, like how you handle difficult clients, or how would you react if the company asked you to learn a brand new programming language, then followed by a discussion with HR, covering general topics such as bonuses and addressing any questions you may have.
