I had an easy C++ test and then a 1:1 zoom call with one of the managers (Doug). He was super disrespectful and arrogant, questioning the technical parts of my previous job as if he knew better. Got ghosted by the company after.

Coding
The first part of the assessment was a 40-minute HackerRank test with 2 algorithmic problems. You could use C++ or Java, but they preferred C++. The first problem asked to write a function that finds the first repeating character in a string. The second problem was about checking if a triangle is Equilateral or Isosceles. I'm waiting for the next step.

Worst process ever, don't waste your time on this company. Number of rounds : 5. 1) Online coding [ Hackerrank ] - V Easy. 2) Online coding [ Hackerrank ] - Easy. 3) Oneway video interview - Average [ Questions are already on glassdoor ]. 4) Codepair with a developer - Average I was given 2 questions to code using hacker rank code pair, both were of average difficulty. Interviewer was nice and helpful. 5) Skype Interview - Average Had a skype interview with two managers, it was completely based on resume. They emphasized C / C++ in every single round, but since I am a Java developer I used Java in every round including my code pair [ In the one way video interview also I told them that my most preferred language is Java ]. In my Skype interview they asked about my C++ experience and I told them that I do not have experience with C++[ May be the reason for rejection although they acted as if it is okay during the interview ] Worst part is they take 5 rounds for internship and then they check if the candidate is suitable for the team, this was the biggest waste of time for me.
