Behavioral

It was easy, all behavioral questions. They asked simple stuff about my resume, past experiences, and why I'd be a good fit. It was a good, simple chat. There was a second round too, but it was also just more behavioral questions.

It was a two-stage interview process. The first stage involved a Java code walkthrough with the interviewer. We went over some basic Java classes and I had to identify and fix any errors I found, which included mistakes in syntax, semantics, logic, and object-oriented principles like encapsulation. The second stage was about designing pseudo-code object definitions for the game Tetris. We discussed which objects, along with their attributes and methods, I would create to build the game, focusing on OOP concepts. Both stages were conducted by different senior developers and included a brief behavioral interview segment.

It was a 3 round process, 2 technical rounds and 1 HR round. After passing L1 and L2, the HR asked for documents and set up the HR round. I tried to follow up after 3 days but they were unresponsive. Then the HR told me to take another offer without giving any reason. They should have provided proper feedback. If you have time to waste, go for this interview.
