1st round was an aptitude round, 2nd round was a group discussion ; we were given an abstract topic to discuss on, 3rd round was a case study round ; it involved solving two problems based on something called an image histogram; i did not get through this round but a friend of mine who did said that there were three more rounds after this.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you know about this company? If anything related to microscopes in that company, they will ask that
Fair behavioral question and ask about relevant job experience. The overall process is smooth and the interviewer is easy going. Take some time to prepare for company related questions and you should be fine.
Interview with the Hiring manager was chill but he did not really ask anything about my background nor how I would fit the role.
Instead he asked me some brain teasers, which caught me off guard a little.
