Process

It was a phone interview. Then, after two weeks, I was called onsite.

The first round was behavioral, then I was given some programming questions. After that, I was asked some object-oriented design questions, with SQL queries in the end.

The interview environment was pretty chilled out, not much pressure, but the questions were to test your logical and analytical skills.

In the end, I was interviewed by HR, where I was asked some behavioral questions, which included how you handle team disputes and if you've ever done something out of the box.

There were like 10 interview questions, which included salary expectations as well. I told them the minimum salary I was expecting.

Most important was what you know about our company and why we should hire you. It took like 10 minutes for me to explain why. They seemed convinced in the beginning, but not in the end of my interview.
