Technical Behavioral
The HR recruiter conducted the technical interview to assess my knowledge, mostly focusing on Microservices, Kubernetes, and Docker. Even though it was for a .NET Developer role and Kubernetes/Docker were optional in the description, the questions were mainly about containerization and orchestration. There were few questions on .NET, ASP.NET Core, or Web API. The interviewer was really into cloud-native architecture and deployment.

The interviewers and HR were nice and friendly, they tried to make us as comfortable as possible throughout the process. The difficulty really depends on your interviewer. Some of my friends were asked extremely basic questions like bubble sort and Fibonacci series, while others including me got harder questions. They asked questions from DBMS, OS and DS as well HR questions. One programming question was mandatory and we were required to solve it. We also had a Group discussion/debate after the interview.
