Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied through a recruiter.
There were two interviews: one for systems and the other one for coding.
- Systems: Mostly Linux questions and debugging system failures.
- Coding: Medium-level questions on stack and arrays.
I had to give an online assessment beforehand, which had Linux question MCQs.
