Technical Coding Behavioral Case
So the interview had five stages total. First up was a written test that checked my reasoning, aptitude, and some technical knowledge. If I passed that, I went into a technical round with more detailed questions about programming and problem-solving. Then came the HR round, where they asked about my history, what I'm good at, bad at, and what I want from a job. After that, I had a managerial round focused on how I'd deal with actual work scenarios, like teamwork and issue resolution. The last one was the director round with senior management, discussing my future goals and how I'd fit into the company's overall plan. They used all the feedback from these five rounds to make their decision.
