Process

The interview process was smooth.

There was 1 telephonic round plus 4 rounds of onsites. Due to COVID, interviews were conducted virtually on Google Meet.

This year, 2 onsites were taken on the same day and were eliminations. Only on clearing the first two rounds would you be called for the next round.

Questions

Due to NDA policy, I can't disclose the exact questions, but I can share the topics:

  1. Telephonic: Two pointers, followed by a question using DP.
  2. Onsite 1: A question based on tries and DFS.
  3. Onsite 2: A question based on process simulation, utilizing data structures like sets, heaps, and maps.
  4. Onsite 3: Questions on trees, heaps, and some implementation-based problems.
  5. Onsite 4: Graphs, BFS, 0-1 BFS, Dijkstra, Binary Indexed Trees, and DP-based questions were asked. In total, I was asked 3 questions in this round.
