Paragraph = ‘It's a square SqUare. It's a FLAT flat.’
Banned =[FLAT, IT, S].
So we can see these words [IT, S, SQUARE, FLAT ] are most frequent.

So we have a unique answer SQUARE which has a frequency of 2 and not on the banned list.

Why should we hire you?
Tip 1 : The cross-questioning can go intense sometimes, think before you speak.
Tip 2 : Be open-minded and answer whatever you are thinking, in these rounds I feel it is important to have opinion.
Tip 3 : Context of questions can be switched, pay attention to the details. It is okay to ask questions in these round, like what are the projects currently the company is investing, which team you are mentoring. How all is the work environment etc.
Tip 4 : Since everybody in the interview panel is from tech background, here too you can expect some technical questions. No coding in most of the cases but some discussions over the design can surely happen.
