The first technical interview focused on DSA, DBMS, and some resume-based questions. The second technical interview covered DSA, OOPs, DBMS, and SQL. The final HR round included an SQL question followed by general HR questions.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I got the interview within a week. First, there was an HR phone call. Then I had to do an essay, picking one out of five topics like if social life is more important than career, my career inspiration, role model, or a current issue. Also, a short essay about short-term and long-term objectives, most challenging experience, and best achievement. I had to complete these before the interview. The interview itself went well, but the HR interaction was not pleasant. The HR was unprofessional and not formal, even negotiating salary over WhatsApp with emojis instead of a proper call.
