Process

They received my resume from the Grace Hopper Event '21 database and contacted me themselves.

Two rounds:

  1. Codility Test
  2. Technical Interview

Codility Test:

  • 2 questions in 1 hour
  • Easy to medium LeetCode difficulty

Technical Interview:

  • Interviewed with a Senior Software Engineer.
  • Questions were fairly easy, typical interview questions found on GeeksforGeeks. The interviewer delved into Java (my comfortable language choice).
  • The interview went very well. I was able to answer all questions except one, which the interviewer said was acceptable as it was an advanced question that I could look up afterward.

I thanked the interviewer, and her feedback was positive.

Radio silence from HR. Despite their initial activity before the process, my follow-up emails have gone unanswered.

Questions

Mostly basic DSA questions, with in-depth questions on Java.
