I applied for the Software Engineering, Tools and Infrastructure, University Grad position online on October 20, 2016.

On October 27, I received an email for an online coding assessment. It contained two coding questions (focused on string operations, which were a bit difficult). I could not complete either of them, but I was still called for the next round, a phone interview.

This interview took place almost 20 days later. The requirements specified were complex to understand at first, but the interviewer simplified them by breaking them down into smaller pieces. I was able to solve them easily. The interview lasted exactly 45 minutes. Apart from coding, nothing else was asked.

After 7 days, I received a rejection phone call.

The phone interview was also focused on string manipulation.
