Technical Behavioral

We had face to face interviews where they checked our analytical and math abilities. They also looked at our Communication skills, and verbal and written skills. There was an Advance Excel practical skill test. Overall, they checked our confidence. This is better for entry level folks to gain corporate skills, but maybe not for experienced ones.

Confirmed questions8 questions
  • How would you solve mathematical problems related to profit loss and interests?
  • Can you demonstrate your analytical abilities?
