3 rounds total. First round was with the hiring manager, it was pretty chill and they just wanted to see if I'd fit with the day-to-day tasks and if I was okay with traveling. Second round was a panel with people who would be my future mentors, also easy. They wanted to check out my past experience and see if I was passionate about the job. The last round was with the country head, which wasn't very technical but more focused on my behavioral aspects. Everyone was really nice and supportive all the way through.

The hiring journey starts with resume selection, followed by an HR call or a telephonic interview. Next, there's a technical interview, then a managerial round, and finally another HR round before an offer is extended. This whole process usually takes about 3-4 weeks, but it can vary based on the specific role. The interviewers were very professional and addressed all questions thoroughly.
