An external recruiter contacted me for a position that recently opened within the company and setup a phone interview with the software development manager. Conversation was casual, no technical questions. Final interview, which was face to face, involved talking with the hiring manager about company history, products, future goals, etc. Then, I was escorted to another room for a one to one interview with the principal engineer (architect). I was asked about my background, experiences, tools, etc. and then proceeded to give the pair programming challenge.

First was apti round, in which some qns were quite difficult. Needed manual calculations. Second was dsa round, which i could not clear coz wasn't prepped enough. They asked medium level qns to start with, which i could not answer properly
