The interview process was pretty smooth overall, though there was a slight delay with the package which was expected since it was year-end. It started with an HR call after they found my profile on Naukri. HR then set up two coding rounds. The first coding round was quite straightforward, and the second one was also on the easier side. The final round was an in-person interview with the onsite project manager and team lead. This round wasn't too tough either; they mostly asked about my thought process behind previous coding solutions and some behavioral questions. I got feedback for each round on the same day. Finally, HR discussed the salary and agreed to my requested raise.

The interview process was held in my campus. It was quite long. Starting with a preplacement where the director gives a brief about their work culture, how their company provides services in music, media, consumer electronics and different technologies they work with. The team shared their experience with gracenote. They were cooperative and welcoming. They had a limited number of pick for the role. GREAT EXPERIENCE! 1st round : Aptitude Round (logic and quants) 2nd round : Technical interview 3rd round : Techno-managerial round 4th round : HR interview

Technical Coding
Applied online after seeing the job posting. Recruiter called a bit later. Had a phone screen with a senior dev, then we went straight to the in-person. Some people from the hiring panel couldn't make it that day, so it was just a few of us for the usual whiteboard questions. Most questions were about dealing with large file data imports. One question was about how to set up the database for a TV listing service.

- How would you design the database structure for a service that provides television listings?
