Applied from Elitmus and got shortlisted. I appeared for a test which was difficult. The technical questions were from Python and Data Structures, but I had the option to choose C++, .NET, or Python. The coding round was also in Python. I received a call for an HR interview after that.

The process included a phone screen and then an in-person interview with three members of the comms team. Everything moved pretty fast, and there were no weird questions. They really seemed interested in how I approach personal development and self-reflection.
