Interview
The Interview process includes a lot of form filling majorly to determine your area of strength and where you will fit best in the company.
The process also took around 2 months or so.
The major interview was two phone interviews which lasted 45 mins each. The two interviews were supposed to be on the same day and was supposed to follow each other concurrently but the during the first of the interviews there was a network communication problem so the interviewer advise that we reschedule so we did.
The second interview took place that day and it was awesome. It was interactive and we ended up spending more than 45mins.
The second one was later rescheduled to a week after and even though I had issues at first understanding the problem but it went well later.
So that's that for now.
