First Round was coding and MCQ's. MCQ's were simple if concepts are thorough and basics are clear. Coding section was solvable but difficult.
Next Rounds were Technical Interviews. They mainly questionned from resume and recent trends and technologies.
This has to be one of the worst interviews ever, the interviewer was interviewing me sitting on a sofa in a common area and it was just loud and distracting. Because he was sitting on the sofa, his laptop was on his lap and only the bottom left half of his face in in the camera entire time.
He started the interview by shooting about 20 simple knowledge based questions at me then proceeded to ask about my experiences.
When I think it couldn't be any worse, when I asked him a simple question on how the company culture was. He couldn't answer it, instead asked me what I looked for in culture and proceeded to respond "Yes, we have all those" I stopped asking question and finished the interview.
