Behavioral Technical
It was a multi-stage assessment, not too difficult, you just need to know your resume inside and out. The process was quick and the interviewer was pleasant. It included in-depth interviews with technical and behavioral questions to assess qualifications, skills, and fit for the job role and team. It typically starts with application review, followed by phone or video screenings.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
First there was a personal characteristic test, followed by a specific professional knowledge test with an online interview. During the online interview, I had to answer questions by speaking directly to the camera. They asked about my past experiences in solving problems and my reasons for applying to GSK.

Coding
I applied on March 3rd and had my first coding round on March 26th, which involved basic SQL, Python, and Mathematics questions on HackerRank. Then I had a second, difficult Python HackerRank test where I solved all cases. I tried reaching out to the recruiter multiple times but never got a response, which was quite irresponsible. I don't think I would ever want to work for this company.

- What is the FizzBuzz problem and how would you solve it?
