Technical round was pretty straight forward, was asked a few questions on my background and then given a research task to complete while sharing my screen as per the job description. It lasted for around 1 hr.
Managerial round was pretty informal. We chatted for about 1 - 1.5 hrs on the energy market and how it would develop in the future. We were also discussing on how the geopolitics of the oil market.
