Technical Behavioral

We did a technical and HR round. The technical was pretty easy, but the HR one could be a bit tough. They asked basic programming stuff in the technical part. For C programming, they threw in some pattern problems, looping, and factorial questions. The HR round covered everything from personal background to your take on current events and your sales skills.
