The interview was very detailed for both technical rounds, focusing on minute details. Both rounds took a long time, over an hour each. The first round was a question-and-answer session, and the second round involved mostly practical or application-based questions.

Technical Coding
First, there was an online exam with MCQs on topics like distance, time, area, etc., and other questions about accounts and financial management. Then, a technical round via video call where very technical questions were asked. The interview was over 45 minutes long with back-to-back detailed questions. Even though the job was for a fresher and I was semi-qualified CA, I answered most questions correctly. I didn't get selected, which I found out after multiple follow-ups. I didn't like the experience because the interview process didn't seem right for the job offered.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I initially chatted with the hiring manager. Then, we set up an in-person interview with some of the senior folks on the team, including the COO. The final interviews were a 1:1 with the CEO and then their lead data scientist. All of these talks were really engaging; everyone on the team has so many ideas about improving the platform and expanding the product.
