I had an in-person interview with my potential direct manager and their boss. They asked me technical questions, general project management questions, and about software I've used. Before that, there was a phone interview with some PMO folks who are remote. They asked about methodology, tools, and general team collaboration.

Technical Coding Behavioral

The interview process involved about 4-5 rounds. Three of these were technical interviews, and three were HR-related. In the technical rounds, they asked fundamental Java questions covering topics like inheritance and polymorphism. There were also several quizzes, and I encountered about 10 puzzles. While Python knowledge is considered a plus, expect some coding challenges as well.
