It was an easy and comfortable process. started with the technical recruiter screening, followed by 2 rounds of panel interview . Each panel is with 3 interviewers testing the technical fit as well the behavioural fit . Most of the questions tested what i have contributed in my last organisation and what skills i get for the team .
