Technical Behavioral

The interview process consisted of a phone screening, followed by three subsequent rounds, and concluded with an HR discussion. All technical rounds were conducted virtually and led by the hiring managers. Throughout the entire process, HR repeatedly confirmed my availability to serve only a one-month notice period, offering to buy out the remaining period and even agreeing to cover the buy-back amount.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

It was a single day, 5+ hour interview with two separate groups, one managerial and one technical. I had to answer questions and talk about myself. There was also a power point presentation with a Q&A. Lunch was provided. The whole process was smooth, from arrival to being escorted out. Most people I met were nice, friendly, and asked good questions.
