First, there were two technical rounds, then a managerial round, followed by an onsite managerial round, and finally an HR round. You need to pass the two technical rounds; they will ask questions to check your understanding.

Technical Behavioral

I passed two take-home tests without any issues. The questions were pretty basic CS fundamentals. Then came the HR round. The HR person seemed uninterested in conducting the interview and spent time verifying my identity, thinking I might be an imposter. She asked irrelevant questions about my family and my father's name. She also asked me to go over my resume in detail. This was a terrible interview experience for me, especially since I'd cleared five interviews prior to this. It might have been bad luck, but the HR team here was a complete waste of time.

Technical Coding Behavioral

The interview process had 3 rounds: technical, managerial, and HR. Round 1 was a technical interview focusing on the resume, with a data structures question about strings and maps, and a puzzle. I could answer the data structures question but not the puzzle and still moved to the next round. Round 2 was a managerial interview, primarily focused on a Java project using Spring Boot, with cross-questions on all projects. I answered most questions and also got a data structures question (N-Queens from LeetCode), which I solved, leading to the final round. Round 3 was an HR round with standard HR questions and a background check, which went well. Unfortunately, I didn't receive an offer, as only two out of 25 candidates were selected.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you modify a string so that each character is followed by its frequency, with the characters sorted?
  • How would you solve the N-Queens problem?
