Technical Coding Behavioral

The hiring process started with an aptitude test, covering logic, verbal, and quantitative skills in about 30 minutes for 30 questions. Then, there was a coding round focusing on data structures and algorithms, involving medium tasks like HashMap use or array logic. This was followed by a technical interview discussing OOP, data structures (Trees, HashMaps), SQL, cloud computing, and your past projects. Finally, an HR round checked communication, values alignment, motivation, and achievements.
