Technical Coding Behavioral

The interview was about 45 minutes long. It started with a self-introduction. Then, I was given two data structure and algorithm problems to solve. The first problem was related to arrays and was called 'Leaders in an array'. The second problem involved linked lists, where I had to split a given linked list into two separate linked lists: one containing even numbers and the other containing odd numbers. Following the coding questions, I was asked some questions about Operating Systems, specifically covering topics like threads, critical sections, and deadlocks.

Confirmed questions6 questions
  • Can you tell me about yourself?
  • Could you solve the Leaders in an array problem?
  • Given a linked list, could you create two new linked lists, one for even numbers and the other for odd numbers?

Technical Coding Behavioral Other

It was 3 rounds total - first an OA, then a Tech Round, and finally an HR Round. The OA was a mix of tech and aptitude MCQS, and also had 2 coding questions that were pretty much easy to medium level. The Tech Round focused on my resume, specifically my projects and internships, and they asked me one scenario based question. The HR round was mostly basic questions to check if I'd be a good fit for the company culture.
