Behavioral Technical

The interview process included a phone interview and a virtual interview. The phone interview was with the recruiter, covering general topics like your expectations for the role and a review of your resume. The virtual interview was more challenging, split into three parts: motivation, behavioral, and technical questions, with the technical section being the most critical. The entire interview lasted about an hour, ending with time for your questions.

Technical Presentation Behavioral

The interview process included a written round, followed by an in-person interview at their Bangalore office. The HR team was quite unprofessional and rude, not allowing us lunch and making us wait all day. After one round, they asked us to prepare a presentation for the next stage. However, without conducting that next round, they sent us home. The feedback provided was nonsensical. While the interviewers were pleasant and asked pertinent questions, the HR department's conduct was highly unprofessional.
