I received a call through a consultancy and went to their campus on a Saturday. It was a drive for around 35-40 candidates.

1. Written Exam (45 mins) There were 10 code snippets based MCQs, totally based on Java. They were easy and could be easily answered if attempting after a few days of preparation. There were also 2 programs and 2 SQL-based questions. However, they were strict about time, which was 45 minutes and felt insufficient.

2. F2F Discussion (Normal Java Round) This discussion was entirely based on Java. All common topics like immutability, interfaces, abstract classes, singleton patterns, multithreading, and collections were covered.

3. F2F Discussion (Design Round) I was asked to create a design for a problem statement by the interviewer. The main aspects targeted were multithreading, choice of data structures, and controller logic like polling.

4. Telephonic Discussion (NY) I had a discussion with their on-site developer. We discussed Java, the basics of multithreading, and then a bit about SQL. Only two candidates made it to this round.

They informed me that I would have a telephonic round with the MD in the coming days, followed by managerial and HR rounds.

1. Then, after one week, I had a discussion with the MD (NY). The discussion was about aspirations and job requirements.

2. After continuously following up for two weeks, they set up a F2F managerial discussion (pro-fit round) with the Senior VP. The discussion was high-level technical and about salary expectations.

3. Telephonic HR discussion on salary expectations.

After these rounds, the HR asked me to wait for a couple of days so they could come up with a number.

They didn't call back despite many follow-up calls and emails.

Finally, the HR told me that the position had gone on hold. :(

So, I would suggest others not to wait too long or put all their hopes on it.

Write a program to find a number in a circularly rotated array in less than O(n) time.

Write a program to reverse a string using recursion.
