It was a four-stage process. First, a technical round with someone from the US team, focusing on basic OOP concepts. Then, another technical round with someone from the India team, covering basic OOP and some programming questions. After that, there was a management round with an engineering director from India and a manager from the US, where they asked about my past projects and challenging situations I'd encountered. Finally, there was an HR round.
