Technical Behavioral
An agency in Cork set up my interview. A product manager and a senior software developer interviewed me. I was told beforehand it would be a 40-minute technical interview. If I passed this, the next step was an interview with HR, which would involve some personality tests. This was at their office in Northpoint Business Park, Cork. Nice place. The interview itself was quite relaxed and informal, more like a chat. They use agile methodology, which they explained, and the interview focused on processes, like design processes. I think this is why I didn't proceed, as I haven't used formal design process methodologies.

Technical Behavioral System Design
The interview process consisted of three rounds. The first round was technical, focusing on PL/SQL queries and fundamental concepts. The second round was an HR interview where I was asked standard questions about my motivation for joining Snapon. The third round was a techno-managerial interview that lasted only 5 minutes, despite a 2-hour wait. The interviewer briefly reviewed my resume and asked a few general questions, including some performance tuning questions.

The calls were 30 minutes long, but then I was ghosted for about a month. I only found out I was rejected when I asked for an update. It was a really disappointing experience.
