It was an easy and simple interview, and the technical round was basic. Nice experience overall. As a fresher, I cleared the interview successfully. The process involved a panel interview with multiple interviewers from different parts of the organization, who asked a mix of technical and behavioral questions. For roles needing high technical expertise, there was an in-depth technical interview which might include live problem-solving, coding challenges, or case studies. Lastly, there was a final interview with executives/leadership, focusing on cultural fit, leadership qualities, and alignment with company values.

It's pretty standard. After your resume gets the green light, you'll do two technical interviews and an online skill test. If you pass those, you'll have an HR interview and talk about pay.

The interview was conducted over WhatsApp video, which was a poor choice for an online interview due to lag and connection issues. I had trouble hearing the interviewer clearly.
