Process

The interview process consists of five rounds.

The first round is a background check. The subsequent three rounds are technical interviews. The last round is an HR interview.

During the interviews, you will be required to solve easy programming problems, such as SQL queries, and to present some of your projects.

Questions

There are 100 boxes with gifts. Every gift in each box has a different value. Every time, you can open one box and know the value of the gift inside. You can choose to continue or stop. If you stop, this gift will belong to you. If you continue, this gift will disappear. Design a strategy to ensure you are likely to get the gift with the highest value.
