Process

First, candidates take a written examination that tests programming and analytical skills.

Next, there are 3-4 rounds of interviews. The technical content varies:

  • One interview discusses the written exam and a few easy problems.
  • A second interview discusses your profile or past projects.
  • A third interview focuses on programming concepts.
  • A fourth interview is primarily for HR and to answer your questions, but may include some programming elements.
