The people seem nice and there are good vibes, suggesting a collaborative environment. It would have been beneficial to receive feedback post-interview. Some questions were quite unusual, for example, estimating the number of baked beans that could fit inside a car.

Behavioral Technical
There were two main parts to the interview process. First, the HR Round, which was mainly about checking if you're a good fit for the company culture and seeing your soft skills. They wanted to know about your communication style, personality, what your goals are, and how you work in a team. Then there was a Technical Round to see if you really know your stuff and can solve problems in your field. This involved questions about your major, and if it's applicable, some coding, and general problem-solving or practical situation questions.
