Behavioral Technical
So, it was 4 rounds total, 3 online and then 1 onsite. First was just an intro and they wanted to see my motivation. Then round 2 was with the VP, pretty basic stuff, just checking finance knowledge and my experience. Round 3 was with the ED, they really dug into the concepts and my work. The onsite was kind of similar, multiple rounds, but they weren't as intense as the earlier ones.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I applied online and sent in my CV and cover letter. The first round was with an Associate, and it was mostly behavioral with some commercial awareness. The final round involved meeting with four professionals and doing a live exercise using PowerPoint and spreadsheets where I had to answer six questions. The second round was more technical.

Technical Coding Case Behavioral Presentation
So after this general aptitude test, they short-listed half of the candidates and invited them for the interview round which had multiple tech rounds and an HR round. The first tech round mainly comprises general interview questions, but the second round becomes more project-focused and intensive. If there are additional tech rounds, they will involve in-depth technical evaluations. The HR interview will assess cultural fit and other non-technical aspects. I feel the structure may vary based on the interviewer's plan.
Confirmed questions8 questions
