Process

I received a call from the HR representative. The representative gave an overview of the job profile and the interview process. The interview was then scheduled, and I received an email regarding the same.

It was a full-day interview consisting of four technical rounds.

  • In the first round, I was asked to describe my current projects using a whiteboard and markers. The interviewer suggested some changes to the design and asked how I would implement them.
  • The second round was about design patterns.
  • In the third round, I was asked to write code on paper.
  • The fourth round was about virtualization.
