Software Engineer Interview Experience - Vellore, India
Process
I applied through my college (Vellore). The first stage was a coding round with two questions, which were easy.
The next day, the process continued with two technical rounds and one HR round.
The technical rounds consisted of questions on OOPS and data structures, and mostly on the projects listed in your resume. Candidates were eliminated after each round.
In the final HR round, they asked questions like "Tell me about yourself," "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" and some puzzle questions.
That's all.
