Well for me the Hiring manager round was the most difficult, the questions were basically around your life and professional experiences however I was just not able to express my thoughts clearly enough. May be I was just too tired after 5 hours of technical discussion, i am not sure but yes that was the most difficult.

US director joined and some questions about work and few basic questions on SQL queries. And one more person will popup start interview which was totally surprising me as I was not aware .. Once I finished with that Guy then another person popup and took interview .. All seems well and at last no clear feedback by company since two weeks.
