Process

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week.

It consisted of three technical rounds. Questions were asked from oops, networks, dbms, data structures and algorithms. Questions were pretty basic. So anyone who have solid basics would definitely clear the interview. During prepartion see solutions for questions from glassdoor. It will give an idea of what questions to expect in the interview.
