Was very simple with interviews back to back with two of the seniors each taking about 30 minutes. Lots of relevant questions about schooling as well as what you'd do in scenarios. Very informative and helpful.

Question 1
They asked me how I would manage multiple deadlines as well as pressure from other associates and managers.
It was great, they ask behavioural question which requires common sense for you to answer. Other than that, they also ask few technical question which maybe easy for those who are well prepared
