So, they shortlisted students straight up for the interview. It was a 4-round process: 3 technical rounds and 1 HR round. First round was mostly about my resume and one easy DSA question. Second round checked my problem-solving approach and included a medium DSA question plus some testing and optimization questions. The third round was a mix, with a medium coding question, resume questions, and some HR stuff. The last round was just HR. Everyone was super respectful and polite. It was a good experience overall.

Coding Technical

The interview process involved two coding rounds conducted over Skype with desktop sharing. Each round included one coding question followed by a question about designing test cases for a given problem. Although the interviewers were good, I made a mistake in the second coding round, which led to my rejection.

Technical Behavioral

It was a quick interview process. They checked my availability and then I had a technical phone interview with the hiring manager. I didn't get any feedback afterwards. I asked the recruiter, and they said there wasn't an intern position available, even though the interview went well. The interviewer and recruiter were both friendly.
