Question 1
Difference between internal sort and external sort?
The interview process is almost the same as other companies. Depending up upon the hybrid or remote env, the process is over the call or in person. Lateral Joiners should expect at least 3 rounds of discussions,
There will be a 4 rounds of interview if possible a client interview will be arranged initial a basic telephonic round to check our communication skills and followed by the Team lead interview and a manager round and HR final discussion if required a client interview as I said earlier.
