Question 1
Questions in round 1 (aptitude ) were basic quanta and verbal plus attention to details.

Technical round had some brain storming questions but quite easy like

To the point people, warm attitude yet quick to the Q&A. Share background, why ops, why location? Speak well and be confident. Be prepared for a random phone call, if you miss the call prepare a good voicemail for when you call back.
