It was a 3-round online interview process. There were non-technical rounds, a technical interview, and an HR interview. It was quite tough; they asked many technical questions related to engineering, covering topics like Fuzzy logic, MPC controllers, and advanced process control.

Behavioral Other

I got an email saying I was selected to interview and complete a cognitive and behavioral screening. We scheduled a digital interview on Microsoft Teams, and HR was supposed to send a link. Unfortunately, the recruiter never showed up for the scheduled 30-minute interview, missed the time completely, and didn't reply to my emails.
