Process
I applied online.
- 1st round – HR screening: The interviewer was excellent. She explained everything very clearly, managed the conversation well, and asked relevant questions.
- 2nd round – Pair programming: You could use your own IDE. However, I have to say that the interviewer’s English was quite difficult to understand due to a very strong Indian accent. I struggled to understand around 50% of what he was saying.
