The interview process was quite normal as the other processes. It had technical and HR rounds. Usual Technical and HR questions were asked in the interview.
It went for 2 hours both the interviews combined. It was a plesant experience.
The first round was a phone interview with the hiring manager. The second round was a pair programming exercise/interview with a senior member of the development team. While I received good feedback I did not make it to the next round. Overall it was a positive interviewing experience.
