Technical Coding
The interview process was quite interesting. They asked a lot of theoretical questions, none were scenario-based. The questions didn't really check work exposure; you could pass if you had the theoretical knowledge. It felt easy to clear the interviews.

Technical Coding Behavioral
The interview process started with a 45-MCQ test, including 35 aptitude questions (quantitative, logical, and verbal) and 10 core Java questions from the Oracle SE6 certification, which were moderately easy. This was followed by a personal interview where they asked general questions and puzzles. They mentioned they wouldn't ask technical questions unless something specific was highlighted on the resume, and that knowledge of Java (despite it being their framework language) wasn't expected as training would be provided; they mainly looked for logical thinking and problem-solving ability.
