Question 1
Basic Networking (DNS, DHCP, ipconfig, basic linux commands). Quite fast but they generally need very fast people so it's just a matter of luck. Not very technical, and the answers are the same (checked with my colleagues). It's much worse after you get the job as the skills needed are higher and the pressure builds up after starting.
It was smooth, in total having 4 rounds with 2 managerial rounds.
2 technical rounds including one quick technical. Overall it was a good experience.It was smooth, in total having 4 rounds with 2 managerial rounds.

Interview
The Interview process was delayed too much and there was no proper feedback provided. The interviewer was also rude and not at all coperative. After taking the interview the interviewer was on leave for 2 weeks which further delayed the interview feedback and not at all satisfied with the interview process.
