The first interview was over the phone to go through my resume. The interviewer asked general questions regarding my previous work experience and the current project. The entire process took 30 minutes. The second interview was a group interview followed by on-site interview. The panel asked general questions regarding my experience and then followed up by asking technical questions. This process took 3-4 hours.
