Amazing experience. Simple process. Basic aptitude at ground level. Situational Judgement test. Occupational Personality Quiz. Technical Aptitude test in the final round is based on c++, java and sql. Pretty basic. Technical interview was normal general concepts. Technical aptitude was harder; interview was easy as it awas a one on one thing and the interviewer was not intimidating.
The entire experience was good because they always behave very nicely and are always helpful.
