Interview
Pretty straightforward interview process. Both the interviewer and recruiter were very respectful. First had a quick conversation with the HR after which she scheduled me for a phone interview. The interviewer was very courteous and asked me three questions. First question was expected outcome , the other two were SQL based. I think was a little slow in solving the questions, maybe that's why received a rejection ~ also pretty sure that there was a better solution to one of the questions.
