This was a campus placement for a Software Engineer Trainee role with a salary of 5 LPA in Chennai. The process had 4 rounds. First, a written test on campus covering logical reasoning, aptitude, technical MCQs, SQL, and algorithms. Second, a technical round also on campus where we had to solve 4 coding questions (medium to hard difficulty, including sliding window and coin change problems) and get at least 3 right. Third, a technical interview conducted on-site in Chennai. Finally, an HR interview, also on-site in Chennai.
