3 rounds, one phone screening, one behavioral, and then one technical in person. The process was lengthy in terms of time but was not extremely difficult, they asked a lot of statistic and scenario based questions of how I would solve a problem

Interview
1) They took in person interview.
2) Interviewer was mostly interested in Theocratical questions rather than technical questions.
3) Based on basic questions only they will judge and expect to know all answers in details. In my case I worked on 7-8 related techs but interviewer was only familiar with 2 so he was expecting answers more in theoretical or bookish kind of answers.
Basically this particular interviewer was more interested in typical definitions rather than focusing on actual experience questions. Even though these companies are slow on adapting new tech and he was thinking in terms of you should be able to implement new tech. My questions is now if you are not able to use current tech in market you are 10 years behind when you are going to implement tomorrows tech? Haha!

The interview went well. The interviewer was friendly and easy to talk to. I enjoyed the conversation and learned a lot. I learned a lot about the role and the team's goals, and I believe my skills and experience would be a good fit.
