They initially posted for 4 job roles, but only shortlisted 2 and ended up hiring one candidate for just one role. The interview process was quite difficult. It included an aptitude round, two technical interviews, and an HR round. They asked me 3-4 puzzles, DSA, and basic coding questions.

Technical Behavioral

It was a 2 round process, L1 and L2. L1 was technical questions and experience-based questions. L2 was also the same but the interviewer was extremely rude. They accused me of reading my current job role and responsibilities from my screen! I replied I can share my screen as my camera was already turned on for the video call. After L2 I tried calling the HR after a few days and they did not pick up both times.

Technical Behavioral

So there were three rounds. The first one was a technical interview where they asked me questions about things on my resume. Then the second round was a mix of technical and managerial stuff, with situational questions. The last round was with HR, and they wanted to know about my experience at my previous company.
