Interview
- The first stage of the interview is the Codility interview. You need to score high maybe around 65% depending on the team and candidates in the job application pool. - If you pass, you move to a for-loop (3 stages) algorithm coding or system design interview, which will take 45 minutes each with 15 minutes of rest. About 3 hours of the interview in a day. If you get yes in 2 out of the 3 stages then you move to the final interview called AA (As Approved) where you meet the manager. The AA interview was more of a conversation on programming, OOP, Solid principles, and best practices. You can also be asked about Microsoft products. *My interview process took about 6 months.
