Process
4-5 rounds via phone in several locations worldwide with good technical questions. The final interview at Chennai was however a lot of puzzles which wasn't relevant to the job description at all.
Questions
I was asked puzzles like prime numbers from 1-100, bulbs turning off and on, and similar questions.
