it was really great and laid back, lots of interactions involved, situation based questions, very few technical questions and more soft skills based questions, very informative interviewers, they provided details about the company and mind set of the people working there
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
describe one of the most challenging task u had to face and how you handled it
Basic screening telephone call and then a technical chat. Context and scenario questions followed by more technical ones about Java, Spring, that sort of thing. Were reluctant to discuss client, why hiring, etc.
No behavioural question, just one live technical assignment on call. Asked to code something. After I was done, we discussed the work and my code. No other question was asked.
The interview process was straightforward and went well overall. It consisted of about four interview rounds, with each stage focusing on different skills, experience, and overall fit for the role. I did have a recruiter.
