1st round: Practical questions like the computer boot process, what happens when a USB is plugged in. Job location and preference-based questions. Initial screening round.

2nd round: Basic C and Java questions like data types, access modifiers, OOPs concepts. Questions about when to use which language with examples and why. One probability-based puzzle: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/puzzle-50-red-marbles-and-50-blue-marbles/.

3rd round: Operating system-related questions like the difference between a thread and a process. Paging algorithms. Basic Linux commands. What is a PCB?

4th round: Face-to-face paper coding round:

  • Two linked lists are intersecting at multiple nodes, like a chain. Print intersecting node values. You can use any type of linked list with any kind of structure. No constraints, with any number of pointers in the struct.
  • Array with random 1s and 0s. Separate 0s and 1s on the left and right side of the array without using other data structures.

100% solutions to any coding questions were expected; just the thought process and coding fluency were important.

5th round: HR call for salary negotiation.
