Coding Technical Behavioral
Went through an online assessment with easy to medium LeetCode problems. Then there were 2 technical rounds. The first focused on DSA and CS core subjects, with a bit about projects. The second round was resume-based and included behavioral questions. Finally, an HR round, which was more of a formality and not an elimination stage.

Coding
This was a really bad interview experience. They rescheduled it like 5 or 6 times. During the actual interview, the interviewer didn't seem that interested in my solutions. The first question was coding related, and I explained it well. It was supposed to be an hour long, but they finished it in about 35-40 minutes. I got the feeling they might have already filled the position or had other plans.

Behavioral Technical Coding
Started with a recruiter call where they nicely explained the job and the interview process. Then came the technical round. The interviewer seemed unprepared, and the start was awkward. They paused a lot before asking the first question. It began with behavioral questions about my decision-making process, which felt odd for a technical round. There was one question each on API documentation, GraphQL fragments, and JavaScript, all feeling like trivia. Two simple coding questions were asked quickly, like they were in a rush. The 60-minute call finished in about 40-45 minutes, and the vibe felt competitive.

Read report →“How would you find two numbers in an unsorted array that sum up to a target value, ensuring the indices are different?”
Read report →“For a given one-dimensional array, how would you find the count of unique sets of elements, considering indices with the same values? For example, if A[0] = 3, A[1] = 7, A[2] = 4, A[3] = 3, A[4] = 3, A[5] = 4, the first set of indices where values are the same are (0, 3), (0,4), (3,4), and the second set is (2,5). Since value 7 has no matching value, it's not counted. The total sets would be 4. You can use any language like C#, JAVA, Python, or Javascript.”
