Interview
Very easy interview.
You have to call a HR rep during business hours and answer a few questions (takes 5 minutes). Super odd - not sure why they don't have someone in HR just schedule an interview.
The actual interviews consisted of two interviews with two different managers. Both were almost entirely behavioral. Mostly going over your resume and asking some other questions that they are forced to ask.
Offers are conditional on passing a background check and drug test.
Phone interview with HR - this was a quick call going over skills, virtual interview with IT staff member - this was a typical interview, then in person interview with hiring manager and another staff member. Last two interviews were behavioral
Interview was for a fresher role, there was a lack of transparency on hiring criteria, wasn't able to answer few questions but managed to answer majority of it. Interviewer was chill , OA round was easy medium leetcode and cs fundamentals
