Process
Applied through LinkedIn.
Received an email from the recruiter who asked me to take a HackerRank coding test in C++.
The test was difficult. They provided a problem statement for which I had to write a C++ program using STL. The problem statement was similar to a big project implementation, but they allotted three days.
I submitted my code and then received a call from HR.
The next round was a telephonic technical round. It went well, but I screwed it up big time by not reviewing OS and multithreading concepts. Consequently, I was rejected.
Overall, it was an interesting process.
