Technical Behavioral Technical
Got this opportunity through campus placement. There was an online assessment followed by three rounds. The first round was technical focusing on basic DSA and CS fundamentals like networking and OOPs. The second round was managerial where they asked about my personal projects. The third round was with HR and I was offered a 12-month apprenticeship as a Project Manager apprentice.

Technical Behavioral
Initially, they missed my interview, but rescheduled a few weeks later after another candidate turned down their offer. The HR communication was lacking; they contacted me outside of my working hours, which was inconvenient given the time difference. The technical interview was also not ideal, as the interviewer seemed to be trying to challenge me in a somewhat confrontational manner.

Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
So the whole thing had 3 main parts. First up was the Hiring Manager. We mostly just chatted about my background and previous work, and if I'd be a good fit. They also threw in a couple of hypothetical questions to see how I'd tackle problems and work with others. Then came the Technical Lead interview, which was way more hands-on with code. We dove into coding, data structures, algorithms, and touched on system design basics. I got asked some specific stuff about Java/Spring Boot too, plus some debugging and problem-solving tasks. The last bit was a panel interview with a few people. It was a mix of tech and behavioral stuff. The tech side involved design talk and coding, and the behavioral side was about teamwork, dealing with tough situations, and working fast.

Technical Coding Behavioral
Had a phone chat with HR first, where they asked about my skills to see if I matched what they were looking for. Then, there were 2 technical interviews. The first one had some easy DSA problems, which I managed to solve, and I got positive feedback from HR the same day, so they scheduled the next round. The second round involved a medium-level DSA question, but I couldn't solve it, and that's why I didn't move forward.
