Process
Aptitude and technical test followed by two interview rounds.
The technical round had standard questions on C, and a few questions from digital electronics. The aptitude section had a lot of time-consuming questions.
If you have attended an interview with the same company before for another profile, some questions may repeat. The concepts tested are the same.
Questions
Aptitude questions were heavy on probability; most of them were difficult and time-consuming.

People are nice, and it is really hard to find a bad manager. Great work/life balance; you work as much as you want. Very long career oriented, they have a lot of different positions you can move to or from.Cons: A big and old corporation. Old technologies. Too many boring steps to build features or products, which is why they acquire other companies. A lot of the products are in a maintenance state, so you end up working on bugs most of the time. They promote once every 3-4 years but only increase salary by 3%.
