Interview
I had a WebEx interview with 2 people. They asked a variety of typical interview questions such as What do you know about our company? What do you know about this position? What did you apply for this position? Tell me about your background. What about your work history makes you a good candidate for this position? Why are you leaving your current job. Describe your work habits.
They care about your skills, rather than your background. They have a template which they provide and you got to fill that, everyone is provided a unique number. You are instructed not to disclose any of your personal details in the due course of your interview.
The interview process was two rounds. The first round was a behavioral interview. Straightforward questions, like tell me about the most technically challenging project you have worked on. The second round was a system design interview.
