Round 3: HR/Managerial Interview
The third round shifted focus to a more personal and project-centric discussion. The interviewer asked about my projects, and I elaborated on an NLP project I had undertaken. This discussion led to a broader conversation about the challenges and learnings from the project.
Next, I was asked to describe a project beyond Machine Learning. I shared my experience working on a full-stack project involving OracleDB, ReactJS, NodeJS, and ExpressJS. This prompted a follow-up question requiring me to provide a SQL query based on a given scenario, testing my practical database skills.
The interview then transitioned to assessing my interpersonal and team dynamics skills. I was asked about both positive and negative feedback I had received from peers and managers, emphasizing my ability to learn from feedback and continuously improve.
The remainder of the interview consisted of situational questions, where I framed my answers using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) format. I shared experiences from my teamwork and project development, highlighting my adaptability, conflict resolution, and decision-making abilities.
