Interview Type: Online Assessment (OA)

Role: Software Development Engineer (SDE Intern / SDE 1)

Interview Experience: Neutral

Difficulty: Medium

Interview Process: I received an online assessment consisting of two coding questions and a short psychometric section.

Coding Round:

• Question 1 (String): Related to pattern checking and substring manipulation.
• Question 2 (Array): Based on prefix sums and optimizing array traversal.

Both questions were of easy-to-medium difficulty and had multiple test cases.

Psychometric Section: A set of personality-based situational questions (around 20–25) to assess behavioral traits and decision-making.

Overall: The OA was well-structured and time-bound. Focused mainly on basic DSA and logical reasoning skills. Didn’t proceed to the next round afterward.
