Behavioral Technical

The interview process was split into three parts. First, I spoke with the Head of Vertical. Then, I had an interview with the Head of Department. Finally, HR handled the salary and negotiation part. The interviews were quite straightforward and pleasant. They tested my knowledge of the role and job requirements with several questions. Each interview lasted no more than 30 minutes.

Behavioral Technical Coding

This interview was held on campus. There were 3 senior people interviewing me in a room of 5. When I entered, I introduced myself, including my name, branch, and internship details. They started with some light questions to check my confidence. They asked me what I had for lunch, and when I said sandwiches, they asked why. I replied I wanted something light. Then they asked if I was nervous for the interview, to which I responded with both nervousness and excitement, and when asked which was more, I said excitement.

It was a pretty chill process, starting with a group discussion (GD) with about 10 people, followed by a panel interview with 3 interviewers. They really want to know how your past work experience can be applied here, so make sure you're ready for that.

Group Behavioral Technical

The interview involved 2 rounds: a Group Discussion (GD) and a Personal Interview (PI). The GD topic was 'Contribution of wireless communications in National Security'. The PI had a panel of 3 people: the TN Sales head, an HR representative, and someone from Finance. There was also a person from operations who observed but didn't ask questions. It felt like a bit of a stress interview, but it was still enjoyable. The HR manager was quite firm throughout, even when spot offers were being given out. Apart from one question, there weren't any technical questions. Overall, it was an easy interview.
