First Interview is with HR from Dubai. It was a generic meeting with understanding my background and telling me the overall expectation about job. If HR thinks, you are a fit, then there is a short call about budget that they think. If both parties are okay, then you continue and meet with reporting manager. It is around 40 minutes and mainly Manager is trying to understand your capabilities and work ethics. If you pass, then there is a case study to present in a 1 hour call. Finally, if you pass this, they will do a background screening and then give you the offer.

It was a reasonable interview, will not call it difficult.. the discussion was more around cultural fitment, global mobility and ability to adapt to a large matrix organization. Lot of stress was placed on communication skills vs technical skills
