Interview Process was quiet similar to regular process, consisting of 3 rounds.

Those who cracked 1 st Round they are proceeded to next round.
Next Round is Techical Face to Face Interview, where they will check your basic knowledge...Core java must be strong and you should prepare basic programs for the interview.

2. Face to Face Technical Round
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Principal Financial Group in Oct 2021
Interview
It was a simple process. They asked me to introduce myself, and then the technical questions were asked right away. It wasn't too formal, and the interviewer actually cracked a joke midway through. It was an overall pleasant experience.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Principal Financial Group (Pune) in Sep 2019
Interview
First Java Technical test.easy but tricky questions.after long waiting of 5 hours , I got a chance to appear for technical interview.interviewers were good people supportive and smiling.lasted for about an hour.told that I have cleared it.next hr round. managerial round was arranged in next week.
My biggest nightmare was Managerial round.I was running late by 20 mins.The HR person called me around 10.45 and told me since you are running 20 mins late you should go back to your home and constantly asking me to come tomorrow.very laid back attitude and she doesn't know how to speak.her voice and tone of speaking.I was completely frustrated by the time I reached there for interview.she arranged some other person to take my managerial interview.i didn't enjoy a single minute of conversation with him.dont know they really want to hire good candidates ("technically") or people who can fake very well in 15 mins of stupid personal questions.I have enough experience of appearing for interviews but this was worst.
Please watch whom you are hiring as HR.they represent your company.Worst experience with HR .
