Behavioral Technical

This was a really long interview process, about 5 stages in total. They did a bunch of behavioral interviews, and then there was one technical part early on. They tried to offer a low salary, probably hoping I wouldn't know my worth. Even after trying to negotiate, they offered a pretty average salary, no paid overtime, but a few extra vacation days. From what I gathered during the interviews, it seems like they expect people to work a lot of overtime there anyway.

Behavioral Technical Coding

I got an offer but decided to reject it. After talking with them, I felt there might be issues with employee welfare and the work culture. I think I'd have to make a lot of compromises if I joined. The process involved several interviews, an assignment, and a test. They also have very conditional, fewer leaves for new joiners, and the salary offered is too low for the current market.
