There were four rounds of interviews, each lasting approximately 45-60 minutes.
Interviewers were primarily interested in assessing problem-solving skills. They asked questions on data structures and requested that I code solutions using a language of my choice.
Some questions pertained to operating systems (OS), and I was also asked to write code for those concepts.
Overall, it was a positive and enjoyable process.
In one of the rounds, the interviewer asked me to write code for deadlock prevention in a system where resource requests come from processes dynamically (at run time).
