Only 2 rounds: technical and managerial.

During COVID, both rounds were virtual, with the tech round being telephonic.

The tech round questions covered core Java at a basic/intermediate level, mainly focusing on OOPs concepts, the compiler, JRE basics, Java POJO classes, the collection framework, thread synchronization basics, and basic design patterns.

The managerial round is more of an informal "get to know" introduction call with the actual reporting manager. Not much investigative questioning happens in this round.

Lastly, HR calls for salary discussion.

As of now, ESOP options are not available at the Sr. Software Engineer level. There is just fixed and variable compensation, along with industry-standard benefits such as health and life insurance cover, etc.
