Behavioral Technical Coding
The interview process was pretty extensive, spanning about 8 rounds. However, they did schedule the interviews back-to-back, which made it quite efficient. Generally, the people I interacted with were very nice, and the questions asked were standard. It was a highly competitive process.

Case Technical Coding
It was an ok experience, but the environment wasn't really friendly. Personally, I wouldn't join this team. One of the interviewers was quite rude. It felt like a waste of time. The interview focused mainly on case studies and projects, and there was also a SQL round.
