Very long but kept me informed. Discussed my research and then had several 1:1 with multiple team members. Some people weren't really listening during the interview, but others paid a lot of attention and asked really smart questions.
In the technical round, I was asked to solve Java problems like star pattern printing, string manipulation, and logic-based tasks like checking even/odd numbers and parsing strings. One question was about accessing specific characters from the end of a string.
