The interview process had 3 rounds. The first was a 1-hour online assessment with basic SQL MCQs, Linux questions, and basic coding problems. The second was a 1-hour personal interview where they asked about my past experience and had me solve a few SQL queries, mostly joins, and medium-level coding questions, focusing on logic rather than syntax. The third round was a 1-hour discussion with the hiring manager, where I was asked two algorithm questions to test my logic and time complexity.
