I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (Chennai) in Oct 2018
Interview
The concepts that you never use in day-to-day basis is what they ask you in the name of level 1 interview. I really don't know even if someone from their own team would answer if asked all of a sudden. The interviewer had a set of answers in their mind and would say wrong to whatever approach you suggest, one of the amazing things the interviewer said was "You cannot use a column in 'ORDER BY' if the column is not used in the 'SELECT' statement". Overall, the worst ever interview experience in my career.
Please send someone who can actually thinks thru the candidate's answer before arriving at a conclusion.

Interview
In total, there were three rounds of face-to-face (in-person) interviews. The first two rounds were with different members of the team, where I had the opportunity to discuss my skills, experience, and how I could contribute to their projects. The final round was with the hiring manager, which involved a more in-depth conversation about team dynamics, expectations, and long-term goals within the role.
