Candidate-reported interview process
Got referred by someone who works there. Had a bunch of phone interviews. They asked me about my studies and how my skills fit the project I might be doing.
The interview process was typical, with about 7 to 8 rounds. The questions were quite challenging and tricky. They mostly focused on Linux, Computer Networks, Database Management Systems, OOPS, coding in C and Java, and Operating Systems.
I applied via a campus recruiter. I had a phone screen. They forgot to call me the first time we scheduled the screen, and then rearranged the call for a time I wasn't available the second time. It was okay though, the recruiter I met at the career fair was nice.
