Process

The hiring and interview process was quite fast. I submitted my resume through a referral and received a call within two weeks. The following week, my interview was scheduled.

I went through a total of four technical interview rounds and one HR round. All five rounds were scheduled for the same day. After one week, I received an offer.

Overall, the interview and process experience was good. The people were friendly, and the office facilities were also good. Apart from the interview process, during lunchtime, I was taken through the company facilities, which made me start liking the workplace culture on that very day.

Every interview felt friendly, like talking with someone I had met before. The level of interview questions was also good; they weren't too difficult but were logical and tested my understanding of the subject. It was more of a discussion session than a Q&A round.

Questions

I was asked only one question in the first round: char *str = "hello";. I was asked what would happen if str[1] = 0; was executed.

Our discussion started with this and spilled over into operating system concepts, touching on process management and memory management parts of the system. The discussion lasted around one hour.

For the later three technical rounds, the questions were not really difficult. They were simple coding problems related to linked lists, stacks, and trees, but required detailed thought processing with respect to the code for each problem.
