So the first step was an HR call just to understand my background. Then, we had a group interview with a panel of interviewers, which was to see how adaptive I am when they throw random questions and how I compete with other interviewees. The final round was an interview with a Senior Partner and Partner/Snr Director to see if I'm really up for the role.

Behavioral Case Technical

First round was with a recruiter, who might ask some unexpected questions. Just stay cool and answer, it should be fine. One question was like, 'Based on my interview with you, what is my personality like.' Honestly, I don't think the HR was even paying attention during the interview, you could tell they were busy with their own things, but they were nice. Second round was with the hiring manager. I had a misunderstanding with HR; they said it was a case study interview. I thought it was only a case study, but it actually started with an interview first. If the hiring manager isn't interested in you, they won't even listen to you. I think it's doable if you prepare. Do some research on tech, etc. FYI, NCS is not about cold calling, etc. It's mainly about data infrastructure (Google this).

It was a pleasant interview process with one HR interview and one Hiring Manager interview. The HR interview was pretty standard. The Hiring Manager interview needed some prep. The HR team was very responsive.
