It was a 4-round interview process. All interviews were technical but didn't involve any coding. First was a phone screening. Then I had a technical interview with the Manager, followed by another technical interview with a Team member. The final round was another technical interview with the Manager. They asked many technical questions and about situations where the best answer was needed. With my experience and knowledge, I answered everything and got selected.
