Interview
The process was straight forward. The HR informed us we would have 4 rounds on that particular day with the first 2 rounds being written test. There was a mix of Programming Language and Scripting questions. You need to be strong at a programming language as well as scripting language. I was knocked out at the 2nd round itself since I don't have a good knowledge in scripting language. If you know Python, you have an upper hand since you can solve both the sections in Python itself.
