Technical Presentation Behavioral
So before the actual interview, there was like a C language test, and an English exam, and also a behavioral assessment that was multiple choice. Then for the interview itself, I had to do a PPT to introduce myself and my projects. They also asked me some questions about operating systems and CPU pipeline and also gave me an introduction to the department.
