Process

The interview process was smooth.

First, an online test, which is divided into two sections:

  1. MCQ (related to aptitude and computer fundamentals).

Then, those who clear this round go to the next round, which is a coding round. After that, those who clear both rounds receive a value-based assessment email. That was very easy, but it was also an elimination round.

Then the next round was an interview:

  • Tell me about yourself.
  • Explain one of your projects.
  • A puzzle.
  • Fibonacci series print and sum of the series.
  • An SQL query.
  • Oops concepts.

I cleared the interview but was rejected in the HR round. Mostly, they are looking for female candidates.

Questions

Fibonacci series and the sum of series
