Asked me to come for face to face interview.
When I went saw 100 to 150 people for the interview.
Got number for interview in the evening 6 PM. When asked they said only 2 pannel is available to take interview. If you have not enough people to take interview then why you wasting candidates time.
Good, interviewer was friendly and not overly stress inducing, which I have found to be common in the finance industry particularly around development orientated roles. Not overly difficult either. Did not ask me about leetcode.
