Process

Had a screening interview with some data structure questions and an online coding test.

Then had 4 interviews for the assessment centre with a mix of behavioural and technical questions.

The technical questions were mixed in difficulty. I feel they were more interested in my communication skills and approach than the actual solution itself.

They asked me where my favourite place is.
