Interview Details –
I went through 3 rounds of interview, 1 was HR, 3 were technical.
HR was the usual trying to get information on my experience etc.
The first technical was basic while the second was advanced.
I thought I did great but wasn't offered a position.
Interview Question – None as such, the advanced tech was kinda more than expected but I had extensive experience so I did good but looks like they weren't impressed. Answer Question
