Firstly, the technical recruiter called and asked about background and some basic technical questions.

Next, there was a phone round with the hiring manager. Two programming questions were asked, and the questions were not difficult.

There was no restriction on the programming language, and I wrote the code in C++. Collabedit was used for writing the code.

There was another phone round from a member of the same team. This was also a coding round. I was asked 3 programming questions, and the questions were moderately tricky.

I was not asked to write the complete code always. Sometimes explaining logic or writing part of the code was sufficient.

Within a week, I got a call for an onsite interview.

The onsite interview was for half a day. The interview consisted of whiteboard coding, and questions on fundamentals of computer networking were asked.

Overall, the interview experience was very good, and the interviewers were friendly.

I got an offer letter in the next week.

The key to cracking the interview is to be confident in coding and networking concepts and to be able to thoroughly explain the projects on the resume.

Even though computer networking questions were asked, they were not many.

Problems related to hash table, String functions, Graph algorithm, TCP, UDP, HTTPS, DNS, etc.
