They asked a lot of questions and were very in depth. The questions had a lot to do with software and stuff like that. The interviewers did a great job.
First interview was HR. Second was technical. They said I was not enough to solve a problem. I have answered many questions correctly. But at the end, they were not satisfied.

Interview
Made it through two rounds and got a rejection after.
