I applied online.

The hiring process was quite long and very technical. It went through multiple stages including an online coding test, MCQ round, hackathon-style challenges part A, an elimination technical interview, hackthon-part B and finally a project + system design discussion.

Each round tested a different skill set — from DSA and problem-solving to OS, DBMS, and even low-level multithreading. I personally got rejected after the Elimination round (technical interview), where I was asked a mix of coding and computer fundamentals questions.

Sample Questions I Faced: 1. In-place removal of duplicates from a sorted array.(In Place) 2.Edit distance (minimum operations to convert one string into another). 3.Conceptual questions on race conditions and DBMS.

1. [0,0,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4] In place removal of duplicates Arr 1 to 3 * 104

2. Given two strings word1 and word2, return the minimum number of operations required to convert word1 to word2. You have the following three operations permitted on a word: Insert a character Delete a character Replace a character Input: word1 = "horse", word2 = "ros" Output: 3 0 <= word1.length, word2.length <= 500 word1 and word2 consist of lowercase English letters.

3. Discuss about Race Condition and some question from DBMS.
