The interview was moderately pleasant. I felt it was more of a test that needed to be passed rather than a genuine conversation. The specialist conducting the interview seemed more focused on how precisely I answered the questions and fit the expected criteria, rather than getting to know me. Unfortunately, I missed answering a crucial question for the role, which was my fault.
The interview process was smooth and well-structured. It consisted of multiple rounds (4rounds), including an initial HR screening followed by 2 technical and 1 managerial interviews. The interviewers were professional, friendly, and focused on assessing problem-solving skills, business analysis knowledge, communication, and relevant work experience. The questions were practical and role-specific, and the overall experience was positive. The process took longer than expected, but communication from the recruitment team was courteous throughout.
