Technical Coding
It was a good and direct interview. They really wanted to check my OOP experience. Also, they were curious about how I'd manage sensitive data like PII. And whether I could write code that's both efficient and performs well.

Technical Behavioral Coding System Design
The interview process involved a one-hour phone screen with four interviewers, followed by a two-hour interview with a panel of three. It was mostly technical with some personality questions. They started by asking me to self-assess my technical skills in various areas. Then, they focused on questions related to topics where I rated myself highly, and didn't probe much on weaker areas. I was also given written requirements for a software system and asked to design its database diagram on a whiteboard during the interview, which also included a live coding assessment.
