Hiring was conducted professionally. It started with an invitation for an interview (during a weekend) via email. The first round was technical, featuring conceptual and software design-related queries, rather than questions in any specific programming language (as the languages I was familiar with were not those I would be working with, if selected). Queries on database design concepts, for example, table normalization, were also posed. There were two interviewers in this round. They broke for a short coffee break during the interview, allowing me time to solve a problem.

The next round, a few days later, was the HR round. This occurred via phone and later, also face-to-face. IQ questions and mathematical puzzles were presented in this round. Questions about the company's platform and general awareness of the domain and work carried out by the company were also asked. The office surroundings seemed quite good.

What would you do if, sometime during your career (after you are selected), you were not selected for an opportunity you had applied for?
