Process

The online test included 2 coding questions and 15 aptitude questions. The platform gives random questions, and hence, may be unfair to some. Once shortlisted, there's a technical interview that can last 30 minutes to over an hour in some cases. They may call you in for a second technical round if necessary. After that, there's the managerial round, where a manager interviews you, mainly trying to ascertain your personality and skills. Then, there's the HR round, where details about the job title are discussed.

Questions

Explain kernel threads.

Explain various methods to perform bit manipulation tasks (such as finding the number of 1s).

Given a number in a list, find the smallest number greater than that number and the greatest number lesser than that number.
