Stage 1: Situational & Behavioral Interview The first stage was a video interview focused heavily on behavioral scenarios, team collaboration, and my background. Core Focus: University projects, personal experiences, and core values. What they asked: I was given various situational prompts asking how I would react under specific workplace conditions. Key Themes: A lot of the questions centered around how I operate within a team, how I handle collaboration challenges, and how I approach project management. Stage 2: Technical Programming Interview (C++) The second stage shifted the focus to technical proficiency and problem-solving. Language Used: C++ Difficulty Level: Medium category (standard LeetCode-style medium difficulty). Experience: The questions were challenging but expected for a technical role. It tested my understanding of data structures, algorithms, and clean C++ implementation. Stage 3: The "King Fight" Gamified Assessment The final stage was a unique, fast-paced gaming interview consisting of three different mini-games designed to test quick thinking and cognitive skills under a tight time limit. Game 1 (Numerical Challenge): A rapid-fire math game. I had a strict time limit (around 2 to 3 minutes) to solve a series of addition, subtraction, and multiplication problems. Game 2 & 3 (Pattern Recognition & Strategy): These involved identifying patterns quickly and adapting to the game mechanics on the fly.
