The interview process included an initial online chat with the scrum master of the team, focusing on work experience rather than technical skills. This was followed by an online technical interview with two interviewers, covering general questions about multi-threading and design patterns. In between the second and third rounds, candidates had to complete online programming and math tasks, along with personality questions. The final round was an onsite interview with the manager, which also involved HR for personality testing.
