Behavioral Technical
So, I had this interview, right? The person interviewing me was based in India but interviewing for a role in Singapore. First off, they were LATE to the call, which was a bit odd. Then, they refused to turn on their camera, which felt super weird. On top of that, the interviewer was really RUDE, asking everything in this super condescending and rude way. It was quite an experience.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process started with an initial screening involving an APT, followed by a communication assessment. Both of these were generally easy to medium difficulty. Next was a written test, which was fairly basic but could be a little tricky. After that, there was a technical interview that was on the easier side. Finally, an HR person discussed company policies and asked some behavioral questions.
