Process

The interview process started with two telephonic rounds, where your basic coding skills and logic were tested. A few problem-solving questions were also asked.

After that, I was brought onsite for another five rounds of interviews.

The first round was a purely coding round where I had to debug some code and also code some basic algorithm problems. These were LeetCode (Easy/Medium) level, which were easy to crack.

This was followed by one round focused on networking knowledge, which went into detail because I have a telecommunications background.

The third round was an OS round, where I was interviewed about my coding environments and different commands.

There was another coding round where I was asked more difficult coding questions.

The last round consisted of me being asked to design and implement a chess game.
