interviewed with them 3 times for 3 different teams, I got 2 out of 3 offers. Decided to not go through because I accepted an offer from a different company. The ones with offers had me answer mostly technical and behavioral questions, and a coding question. the one I didn’t get an offer for had me solve a riddle to see my thought process.

Interview
At the assessment centre, they just went over the CV and the questions from the online assessment to make sure you did not cheat and can explain your solutions. There was 2 interviews, both “Technical”.
Overall, a smooth process. The interview was friendly. Got asked questions based on my resume and LeetCode medium questions. A few questions on some cybersec attacks and a few questions on Kafka (based on my project)
