Everyone was super lovely, interview was not overly stressful and the questions were all behavioural and fit questions, had 2 interviews for 45 minutes each and it felt more like a get-to-know-you chat than a formal interview process

Interview
The interview process consisted of two rounds. The first was a technical round focused on coding skills, problem-solving abilities, and domain knowledge. It involved data structures, algorithms, and scenario-based questions. The second round was an HR interview that evaluated communication skills, personality, confidence, and cultural fit. Questions were about strengths, weaknesses, career goals, and situational responses. Both rounds played a key role in assessing overall suitability for the role.
