Process

The interview process was very smooth, and the interviewers were professional.

There were a total of 5 rounds:

  • Online Coding Test
  • Technical Interview
  • Technical Interview
  • Hiring Manager Round
  • HR Round

Questions

Round 1 - It was an online coding challenge. Questions were asked from DSA (based on maps, DP - this one was tough), SQL (simple), MCQs (from OS, DBMS, Networks), and File Handling (very simple, just to parse the file and display its content).

Round 2 - All questions were from OS, DBMS, and Networks. Common questions included how HTTP works, the difference between HTTP and HTTPS, semaphores, and SQL joins. One question was very interesting; I don't remember it exactly, but the interviewer gave me a practical scenario that had to be solved using semaphores.

Round 3 - This round was mostly on DSA. The interviewer asked me questions from linked lists, DP, Hashing, etc. At last, he asked me how the Linux file system works.

Round 4 - This was with the hiring manager. He asked around 5 questions, all based on graphs, most of them were variations of the snake and ladder problem. Then he asked general questions like how many offers I have and to tell him a single strong reason why he should hire me.

Round 5 - This was the HR round. The interviewer asked questions like how my internship was and why I wanted to join this company and not others.
