Interview
During the interview, they first ask me to introduce myself and go through my resume. Picked one of the most impressive one (they feel impressive...not me...) and ask me some more details. And they started to ask some kind of basic programming and probability problems. Programming questions would not be so tricky, but the probability one is really challenging for me.

Interview
I applied online and got a mail from the HR for a telephonic interview. I was given an oppurtunity og select a slot from the listed available dates and time.
There were two interview each lasting for 45 min with a break of 15 min in the middle.
The firs interviewer was an Indian guy who was very professional. He tested me on a Java question related to
an string anagram.
The second interviewer was a Chinese female. It was a bit difficult to understand her accent. She tested basic computer science knowledge, data structure, java concepts like inheritance, polymorphism, things about garbage collector etc. In the end she asked me a data structure programing question about a n* n matrix wherein i had to turn the matrix by k places.
I did give almost all the answers but I think my first interview screwed me. I could just complete one programming task in that 45 minutes.
