It was an on-campus interview. The first round was a technical interview. Then, there was a technical managerial and an HR round. The first technical interview focused on my resume, asking about cloud technologies, load balancing, virtualization, OOPs, OS, and my prior internship. The second technical interview covered security, networking, and cryptography. The HR round was general, assessing eligibility and adaptability.

Technical Behavioral
Had three interviews in total. The first one was a technical interview and it was pretty challenging. The interviewer was a bit intense and asked some unusual, random questions. The second interview was a brief behavioral one, which was quite easygoing as the interviewer was very relaxed. The final interview was with a manager and consisted of behavioral questions, including what I'm looking for in a role. This interview was lengthy but not overly difficult.

Coding Technical Behavioral
The first round was a coding round with two easy DSA questions, but only C/C++ was allowed. The next round was a technical round where I was asked about my resume projects and DSA questions like implementing a trie and insertion in a BST. Then, the second round was a techno-managerial round. The third round was an HR interview, which was pretty straightforward.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Can you implement a trie?
- Can you explain how to insert into a BST?
- Any basic Computer Networking questions?
