Principal Engineer Java - Individual Contributor role in CDIO Fixed Income Platform Team Duration: 2 weeks between first and last call The interview process involves two technical rounds followed by a managerial round. In my opinion it was easy. In the first round most of the questions were textbook material. Second round was a system design round but mostly revolved around current system architecture and some basic scenario based questions. The managerial round was typical in terms of questions asked but the interviewer (hiring manager) explained the job role in great detail which was a pleasant surprise Overall the interviews were conducted very professionally and the scheduler was a thoroughly considerate person. Salary Negotiation: After sending the documents on Friday, I received a call on Monday but the salary being offered and my expectation had a gap of 9LPA. Althogh the negtiator told me she would check with the hiring manager but I knew that they could not bridge it.

it is a competency based interview. they ask you about the motivation and some questions like "tell me a time when you", it touches some about the technical skills. they do provide an interveiw guideline before the interview so you can better prepare.
