The interview process typically consists of 5-6 rounds:
Written Round:
The written round majorly consists of two sections: Aptitude/Logical Test and a Technical Test. The technical test contains questions mainly from C, C++, Operating Systems, Data Structures, inheritance, and functions. These are generally in MCQ format with a given time frame of about 30 minutes.
Online Coding Round:
This round is hosted online, and candidates are presented with 3-4 coding questions. The questions are of intermediate difficulty, mainly from Arrays, strings, and matrices. To clear this round, one should have a strong understanding of these data structures.
Telephonic Round:
This round is purely algorithmic based, with around 2-4 questions ranging from arrays and trees to dynamic programming problems. You are to present algorithms and, in some questions, the code, if necessary. Apt candidates are selected for further rounds.
Technical Round 1:
Technical rounds are face-to-face algorithmic rounds in which candidates are presented with 2-4 questions, all from data structures. The most commonly asked data structures are the matrix, binary tree, BST, and Linked list.
Technical Round 2:
This round is the same as the previous one; however, the difficulty is increased, and more questions from Trees, BST, and Tries are asked. One should have a clear knowledge of tree-based recursion, and standard questions based on it are a must.
Hiring Manager Round:
This is generally the most technical-intensive round, with questions ranging from the projects you have done and the technology used in them to design problems, DS/Algo problems, and tricky puzzle-like questions.
HR Round:
You can expect HR questions like:
Some technical questions can also be asked from topics like OOPs.
Basic questions from programming languages, DSA, OS, etc.
