1st round - phone call from HR
Duration: 25 minutes
HR was very sweet. She spoke casually. At times, described her own experiences at work which was great. She also asked me to reach out to her in case I wanted to change the technical round schedule..
Do your homework. Although the questions look straight forward, you need to be able to communicate clearly. Since they take down notes, you may want to be slow yet composed. Be patient if asked to repeat.
