Coding Technical Technical Behavioral
Applied online and got a Codility test with 4 questions (2 coding, 1 error fixing, 1 SQL). Then, a video interview with a Technical Engineer about Codility scenarios and basic OOPs/SQL (triggers, views, abstraction, access modifiers). After that, HR called about the next step: a 3-hour 1:1 video interview with a senior technical engineer and two technical managers. The first hour focused on the role, asking me to write two programs and a SQL query. The second hour was about my experience, projects, and situational questions. The last hour covered behavioral questions. Got the offer the same day. It was a smooth process with knowledgeable interviewers.

Coding Technical Behavioral
The process was really well organized and moved quickly, making it a smooth experience overall. They made sure I understood the role and the potential for growth within the company. The interviewers were very open and clearly knew their stuff. First, I got a coding test on Codility with 3 Java questions and 1 SQL question. They weren't super hard, but you really needed a solid foundation to do well. I didn't nail it, but I still moved on. Then came a technical interview. If your Java and SQL basics are strong, you'll be fine. It's more about showing how you think through problems than just getting the right answer. The recruiter called to chat about my salary expectations and ask some general questions. Finally, there was a panel interview with three parts: technical, behavioral, and another technical one. The first technical part was similar to the coding test. The behavioral part focused on my past experiences and what I'm looking for. The last technical part was all about troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, very relevant to the actual job duties.

Coding Technical Behavioral
The interview process started with a basic coding test. After that, there was a technical Zoom interview. If you passed that, you had a 3-hour interview block which was made up of two 1-hour behavioral rounds and one 1-hour technical round. The technical parts weren't too hard, just simple Java and SQL concepts. You should know how to do Palindrome, Fibonacci with recursion and other ways, and SQL Unions and Joins. The behavioral rounds are really where they decide if they want to hire you, so they're pretty tough.
