First Interviewer was not good at English. I didn't understand his questions and had to ask him to repeat them again and again. I was not able to solve the problems within the given time.
Second Interviewer did not join.
Third and Fourth interviews were totally different. There were no coding questions, just some object-oriented design questions. The interviewers had a fixed solution in mind and wanted me to implement only that.
Questions
Signed NDA, so cannot share any questions.
