They first asked for a hard copy of my resume. After some time, they called me for a technical interview. I was interviewed by two of their senior employees. They were very friendly and also gave me confidence to speak freely. The interview started with my personal information, then projects done during my curriculum. After that, they started asking questions about Java basics. Then they asked me about Data Structures, Algorithms, and Java Collections. At the end of the interview, they asked if I had any questions for them. I asked about my feedback, and they gave an honest answer with justification. Then I was asked to wait for the result, and in about 10 minutes, they said they were done with me for that day and I could leave, meaning I wasn't the best match for the job position. Only 2 out of 18 candidates were shortlisted for the final HR round. Overall, it was a great and smooth experience with clear communication and a friendly environment.
