The interviewers made the interview process very comfortable and friendly. The interview process was mostly like having a conversation with a peer. Mostly resume based and behavioral questions were asked.
Applied through University, 1st round is coding round, got selected. 2nd one is Technical , done well too. Last is the HR round, this where i haven't performed well. Should have done better in this HR Round.
