The first tech round focused on topics like the Android Framework, Reactive Programming, and Jetpack Compose core concepts along with discussions around your thought process and problem-solving approach. The second tech round wasn’t just about Android skills; it also evaluated how you approach problems, manage your time, and present your work. Their evaluation criteria felt real and fair not a robotic or overly theoretical process.
