Behavioral Technical

So first I had a chat with HR, just the usual stuff like why I want this job and about my experience. Then like a month later, I talked to the main team, and they asked more about the actual work and some behavioral questions. After that, there was a written test that I had to do in a set amount of time. The final interview was with the director.

Behavioral Technical

It was a good experience. The process was timely. I was made to feel comfortable. They took some time to get back to me after the interview with their final offer but it was worth the wait. There were 2 rounds of interview and both were crisp and precise. The questions were strictly work related to gauge my understanding of the field, my previous experience, and to check my fitment to the organization culture and environment.
