Candidate-reported interview process

The virtual interview process involved two main stages. First, there was a technical round where they really dug into API concepts, coding skills, and how I approach problem-solving. After that, I had a managerial round that focused more on my communication style, my past project experiences, and how I work with teams.

So, there was one coding round and then three more interview rounds. The questions asked were generally easy to intermediate difficulty, focusing on DSA, OS, and Computer Networks. It's really important to do well in the first two rounds. The last round was with HR, and pretty much everyone who got to that stage was selected.

After submitting my online application and meeting the CGPA criteria, I was shortlisted. The next steps involved an online assessment which included a coding test, a MySQL question, and 13 technical MCQs where multiple answers could be correct. There were also some aptitude questions. The interview process was structured as follows: 1. Online Test 2. Technical Interview 1 3. Technical Interview 2 + HR interview.
