Behavioral: Tell me about a time when you had to complete a task in a hard deadline and what was the outcome?
Tell me about a time when you made a mistake and how did you fix it?
I was able to solve the coding questions but I think I did not do that great in the design round which might be the reason for the reject. Behavioral questions went down well as I had prepared answers in the STAR format.
