Anand Rathi Software Engineer interviews, decoded.

So basically I had to face a challenge where I needed to do accurate face recognition even when the lighting conditions were different. What I did was I improved the image preprocessing part and also tested multiple samples for each user. This step really helped in increasing the recognition accuracy.

So the whole thing took like 2-3 weeks and had five steps. First up was HR, just a quick 15 min chat about you, when you can start, and what you want salary-wise. Then, a 60-90 min online test with Java coding stuff like Collections and Stream API, some SQL, and a tiny REST API task. After that, two tech interviews, each about 45 min. The first one covered core Java, OOP, multithreading, and Spring Boot REST/Hibernate. The second tech round went into microservices, AWS (EC2, S3, RDS), Jenkins for CI/CD, and basic Angular. Finally, a 30 min chat with the manager or HR to go over projects, recent changes, any production problems, your career plans, and to sort out the final salary.

The first stage is objective and then subjective, covering logical reasoning, software-related questions, and problem-solving abilities. The last stage is an HR round where they ask some common questions.
