March 21, 2026
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 1 week.

Technical screening was directly and only coding. Didn't ask intro or anything. Try to explain theory concepts in between coding, they seem to like it. Basic C question, pointer arithmetic, bit manipulation etc.

Questions

Aligned & Free Malloc, pointer arithmetic, bit manipulation, and array question. Overall it was easy; I didn't perform well due to nervousness.
