I received email notifications for technical assessment of 1 hour. It consisted of coding questions on java , springboot etc. The next round was the technical round . Usually after a day or two , as per the requirement. It happened virtually on zoom. This would be followed by managerial round which would be mostly non technical.

Interview
I applied online and I had given the automated OA. After few months, I received a callback from recruiter. I spoke to a hiring manager. It was a technical discussion with high level questions on shell scripting, docker, kubernetes. One week later, I got an interview request with another hiring manager. This wasn't too technical as well. There were few questions about my experience. I was rejected after this round.
