It was a campus recruitment drive. The process was divided into three parts:

1. Two medium-level coding questions on Hackerrank.
2. Pre-recorded video interview on the HireVue platform, where I was asked two HR questions.
3. Code for Good Hackathon - a 34-hour hackathon with 40 teams, each with 6 members, and 4 NGOs with a challenge. Each NGO was allotted 10 teams to solve the challenge. During the hackathon, not only your coding skills were tested, but also other skills such as communication with teammates and mentors, and your approach to problems faced during the hackathon.

In between the hackathon, the mentors asked me to join a breakout room for a one-to-one conversation. It was a general discussion about what I do in my free time, what I am learning during the lockdown, and if I like coding. They asked me if I had any questions to ask them. I then asked them two questions which I had prepared before the hackathon because it is good to ask good questions rather than generic ones.

What is your contribution to the team? Do you like coding? What is your passion?
