Process
First round with the manager of the team. Very, very awful interviewer. He probably asked me 40-50 knowledge-based questions where I could get the answer within 15 seconds if he would let me Google. The interviewer was Indian; I'm not sure if that plays a role, but most of my interviews with Indians are similar.
