Behavioral Technical Coding
The interview process had one initial phone call and then 3 technical rounds during the college day for the networks role. They asked stuff like what is DNS, how to find your computer's IP, and resume questions on the first call. The first round had two easy coding questions (2 Sum, Palindrome) and one medium one (No of Islands). Round two covered DBMS, SQL, Linux, and Networking. The third round was mostly about networks, Linux, and resume points. It wasn't too tough if you knew the basics. They let us know the results about a month later.
