Round 2 (Technical Interview): The interviewer delved deeply into the candidate's technical understanding of a project they had worked on for two years. This round included scenario-based questions and a Dynamic Programming (DP) question from DSA. Behavioral questions about role expectations and future career plans were also asked.
