Interview
Coding challenge followed by 2 interviews. The first interview was a group informational that lasted about an hour followed by an on-site interview. It lasted a few hours and consisted of several rounds of technical questions.
1st round hr interview: BQ questions. 30-45 mins.
The interviewer was very nice, warm, polite, and professional. But The interview process was really intense. The interview lasts 30–45 minutes. It primarily consists of behavioral questions based on your resume. the interviewer asked some broad questions, but each one was followed by several follow-up questions.
