Behavioral Technical
I went through 3 rounds of interviews. The first was a phone call with HR where they just wanted to hear about me. Then, I had a casual and pleasant chat with the Hiring Manager. The final round involved meeting two team members who asked a lot of questions, though one of them frequently interrupted me. What was most upsetting was the complete lack of follow-up regarding the role status, even after I contacted HR. It felt like a disrespectful way to ghost applicants after three rounds.

It started with an online application, then a HackerRank test (try do ace it). After that, there were some HireVue questions (basic motivational and situational). The Assessment Centre had 4 rounds: 1. Pair Coding in Hackerrank, where you solve a lot of DSA questions. 2. A mix of conceptual questions on CS concepts like OS and OOP, and either OOD/System Design questions. 3. A group activity (be a good team player). 4. A behavioral round with a VP/Manager. Make sure to prepare well on technical skills (DSA coding) and concepts, and be ready to be asked a lot of questions on things you mention on your CV. Also, learn about system design for banks/trading/stock exchanges.

Coding System Design Technical Behavioral Group
The interview process for the Technology Summer Analyst role in Singapore started with an Online Assessment, followed by a HireVue interview, and then a Superday. The Superday itself was comprised of four rounds: two technical interviews, one behavioural interview, and one group interview. One of the technical interviews involved a live HackerRank challenge, while the other included a brief system design component. Both technical interviews also featured a segment with short technical questions. Overall, it was a pretty standard procedure, not bad.
