Round: HR Interview
Experience: The interview had 2 or 3 rounds depending on the candidate. It would be good to have some finance background for the HR round.  The second interview round involved solving puzzles and math problems. Many people had a third round of interview which comprised of case studies and guesstimates. One can ask for some time before answering any question- gives them an impression that you're putting thought into it. Make sure your replies don't sound rehearsed and be honest.  While talking about your weaknesses, make sure you do tell them about steps that you have taken to overcome them. They later open flow to ask them questions. Here, one must make sure that one knows the company well and ask questions specific to that company.  Most often, you won't realise the transition between HR and technical questions.
