Interview was a mix of technical and situational based questions to which straight to the point answers were expected. The first round went well and I was informed about a second round a week later. The interviewer in the second round tried to grill me by obstructing my answers.
3 rounds of questions based on your resume and different types of scenarios thrown at you. Overall good experience. Not a lot of behavioral questions but definitely more of a conversation style interview.
