Interview
Personality test followed by a phone interview with HR very basic questions in first round. This was followed by a video interview with various hiring managers where they asked about experiences and situational questions. Got a couple questions on the markets because I chose to bring up following markets. Otherwise it would have been situational and behavioral.
